because they cant afford that extra care to look after them. It can also mean that cultural needs are not met. Someone from a different culture will have different dietary needs, if there is not much money, other options of food might not be bought. This could also mean that prayer mats are not bought, leading to loss of rights to someone who is unable to fulfil their cultural needs. If there is not much money, then there may be less staff to look after everyone, meaning there will be a lower standard of care given. Not only this, as there may be lots of patients and not many staff, guidelines might not be followed and needs will not be met. This can be overcome by a fund raising event at Peacehaven which could help raise money and ensure the …show more content…
You must not rush around trying to complete tasks as this may lead to poor care. If a patient does not have a good standard of care this is a breach of rights meaning that anti-discriminatory practice can not be for seen. It is vital that you take your time to ensure the standard of care is achieved. If you working in Peacehaven then it is likely that the patients cant rush around so you will need to be patient when working and communicating with them. It is important to take in consideration the health status of some patients. If they feel pushed by you this could mean they no longer want you to be caring for them. If there is a lack of time, then lunch times could end up being shortened which could result in certain individuals not finishing their lunch, which may lead to poor health. If you are rushing around trying to complete things quicker you could make a mistake. When working in health and social care settings, medication may need to be administered, if rushed, the wrong dose could be given or the wrong drug could be taken. This could have serious effects to that individual so it is important to ensure you have enough time to complete certain tasks. A way to overcome this barrier is to use staff development or continued professional development sessions. This is a good way to help staff members make time in their day to day routine, meaning more time for patients. This may also benefit them as it will not only teach them how to make time, but to show them how to use that time more wisely by showing them how to plan effectively. Another way to free up more time would be to employ more staff members. This is another good idea as it will free up time and ease the load from the other colleagues. Overworking may cause stress so if any worker is overworking, this could mean they aren't doing their job as effectively. To help understand where all the time is going, it might be effective for the staff members
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.

In this assignment I am going to explain about the role of the effective communication
Over the last century health and social care has changed and developed immensely with the implementation of the NHS and becoming a welfare state. Prior to this health care was only available to a minority of people, those who could afford it. In 1815 the old poor law was passed, it stated that each parish must look after its own poor and those who could not work were provided enough money to help them survive. By 1830 the poor law cost around £7 million, which came from taxing the middle and upper class, causing a sense of resentment towards lower class, unemployed people. In 1834 the new poor law was passed, its aim was to reduce the cost of looking after the poor. Workhouses helped with this, they provided clothes, food and healthcare in return for manual labour. Despite
Cleaning policy states that health and social care providers must provide and maintain a clean and appropriate environment in managed premises that facilitates the prevention and control of infections.

Task 2: Understand how to implement a person-centred approach in an adult social care setting.
C2/B2 There are some standards that must be met when supporting the changes and transition that the child could go through. The standards are making sure that the setting is a child centred, putting the child first, ensuring the child's welfare and safety, promoting children's rights, working in partnership with parents while respecting their contribution and culture and customs and values of their families, supporting the child's individual needs, respecting their families background and structure while working with professionals and maintaining confidentiality. Every setting must be child centred as it will help the child to deal and understand what the transition is and how it is best to deal with it. Also with a child centred practice

Numerous organisations provide guidance to address a range of issues, in a health and social care setting for example; staff members adhere to protocols and guidelines. These are formal sets of instructions about what should happen within the organisation as well as providing guidance about what to do in particular circumstances. It is also used to provide detailed step-by-step instructions or rules by which organisations agree to be bound. In this essay I will begin by describing the advantages and the disadvantages of having protocols and guidelines in place, weighing up whether or not they are a useful way to ensure good quality care.
As a healthcare assistant of the Establishment A, I am totally committed to promoting the rights and needs of the individuals that use our service; always treating them with respect; regarding the things most significant to them whilst holding their uniqueness in high regard. By directly working with them, I earned their trust and accepted as a reliable member of staff who has proven an understanding of the ways in each user communicates, and where applicable, promote and express their views and concerns verbally or by non-verbal means e.g. writing a report, team meeting, support plans and care reviews. Having been given the responsibility by my Service Manger to participate in developing a care review and subsequently updating Miss Y's support plan. I began the process of by re-familiarising myself
In terms of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the act places a general duty on employers to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare at work of all their employees. Guidelines: Guidelines are related to all of these, but act more like advisory procedures that employees should follow at all times. Some examples of guidelines according to NICE are: • Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines • Cancer service guidelines • Clinical guidelines
The legislation that governs adult social care is embedded within the Care Act 2014 (CA). Prior to the CA self-neglect was not a safeguarding issue, only neglect involving a perpetrator; self-neglect is now clearly separated into neglect and added as a distinct category of abuse within the CA. The CA covers a range of self-neglect behaviours such as health, personal hygiene, environment and hoarding and all behaviours are now guided under Safeguarding adult’s procedures, CA (2014) and Safeguarding Adults Boards (SAB) and Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SAR) where death of SN has occurred (Braye el al. 2015?). Now it is legal to invoke a Section 42 enquiry if we suspect or have evidence that 1) Amy needs care and support 2) the adult is at risk of abuse of neglect 3) as a result is unable to protect themselves from the risk of abuse or neglect, Section 42 of the Care Act 2014. A Section 42 enquiry is dependent on whether the Amy is unable to protect herself.
There are many professional and voluntary workers that can support a patient with influenza. An example of a professional worker who can help support an individual who suffers from influenza is a Pharmacist. An individual suffering from influenza would see a pharmacist to gain advice on dosage and what would be the most appropriate form of medication. A pharmacist would provide information to patients on how get the maximum benefit from the medicines they are prescribed.
