The NHS define self-esteem as being the opinion each individual has of themselves. NHS, (2015). It is the self-image and self –respect of an individual’s perception of themselves. Roshahl.c, (2008). This assignment is going to discuss the six factors that affect self-esteem. These factors are the growth promoting climate, the looking glass self, self-actualisation, ego identity, social identity and finally, the constructing of self-concept.

A resident's name or conditions cannot be discussed with anyone other than the care team. Photos and other personal information can't be shared on social media sites and to maintain privacy and emails containing a resident's personal should not be sent because there is a possibility the email will be sent to the wrong person or someone may have access to your account. Information regarding a resident should only be discussed in person to ensure that only the necessary personnel know. When seeing a resident in public, you should not mention knowing them from a care facility in case they wish to keep that a secret from the person they may be with.

There are many things which can affect access to complementary therapies. The ones I will be explaining are:

In this essay I will be analysing the communication and interpersonal interaction that took place in various sectors such one to one interaction, group interaction and how effective these skills and other elements in the health and social care setting such as the environment was being demonstrated.

Reporting of Injuries,Diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations of 1995 requires the reporting of work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences. The Act applies to all work related activities, but not to all work related incidents. The objective of the regulations is to enable the enforcing authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents so as to prevent them from occurring in the future and thus providing a safer work environment.

A health service is a service that provides care and is under the NHS. For examples hospitals or a G.P. They provide treatments but also prevent illnesses through health promotions. A social care service is about providing support to individuals to help them get by and who ever needs it such as emotional support or practical support with daily living tasks.

I believe promoting and providing DIPPS is important in everything we do. I am working within a retirement home and the job of the health professionals is to provide a safe and comfortable environment where we try to help maintain their independence while allowing them to live a life as close to their original state. A lot of the residents who reside in this home is accompanied by some form a dementia, schizophrenia, frail bones, communication impairments, physical issues and sometimes it may be hard to complete daily tasks such as, eating, sleeping peacefully and maintaining the safety in the environment.

On 4/21/17 at 0715 hrs, I was dispatched to 6154 110th Ave N, in reference to an emotional crisis. Upon my arrival, I made contact with the Charles Hollen, at the front door of the residence. Hollen advised he wants to go to the hospital to receive help.

Many people could be affected if staff did not ffollow regulations, an outbreak of food poisoning could occur and this would affect the service, people we support, staff and visitors and they could become very ill with diagnoses of sickness, diarrhea, which could lead to being admitted to hospital and have further complications as well as be less able to fight off infections, or be vulnerable due to their age/lifestyle/circumstances. This could also affect people in an emotional way. For example stress and worry. Some staff may want to stay off work as they would be worried they will catch an illness and this would affect the service staffing levels. Family and friends would be angry, worried and may not be able to visit. Reputation of the

I will now talk about each patient needs as they all differ from each other. Nusrat Patel is 19 years old and has learning disability. This means Nusrat has difficulties in keeping knowledge and skills to the expected level of those the same age as her. Nusrat also has epilepsy which is neurological brain disorder when someone has epilepsy, it means they tend to have epileptic seizures, a seizure is a sudden attack of illness. Nusrat has left residential school to receive full time carer from her mum who has stopped working to care for Nusrat. At times this can be stressful so Nusrat attends the community centre on Tuesday and Thursday which allows Nusrat mother to have a break. Maria montanelli is 34 years primary school teacher who is much like Nusrat mother and takes care of her 96 years old mother who has dementia. Dementia is memory loss and difficulties with cognitive development. Being a primary care for her mother Maria feels she not performing at her best ability because of her lack of sleep which occurs when she assists her mother to the toilet several times. The last patient I would like to mention is Alice Fernandez she is 74 years old who recently lost her husband who had lung cancer. Alice doesn't use her pension the right way as she purchases many drinks as an alcoholic and has increased since her husband passed away. She has been prescribed antidepressant tablet by her G.P but made her lethargic this means she's become slow and sluggish.
