The Professional Gift Model is when service users are appreciative of the support they are given, rather than feeling empowered or righteous. It focuses on the assessment of those who are eligible and how it is given to those who are in need. The gift model is easy to access for those who are eligible, without any extra work for themselves. This model can be taken advantage of and can be overused at times. It can have a negative impact in regards to the eligibility process and how the funding works. It may leave those with a health condition feeling worthless if they are not eligible. It can often seem disempowering for those that use this service, as they do not like to accept from others. The Empowerment Model is when control of someone’s …show more content…
Personalisation means the individual is involved in all decisions regarding their care and supported in being able to remain as independent as possible. They should be given support in ways in which this can be manageable and achievable. They should feel in control of their care and have a lot more choice. Their choices should be based on their needs and preferences. When individuals are given a personal budget, they can spend it on the services they wish to. Personalisation means working well with other health care services and having a good partnership. Partnership working involves good communication, strong leadership, trust between all those involved, shared policies and guidelines, and agreeing that the client is at the centre of all decisions. 1.4 Explain why the concept of ‘outcomes’ is central to personalisation: Being aware of the specific outcomes for an individual, is key to providing the correct care services the individual wishes to achieve. The outcomes will enable the care provider to provide a personalised service for the individual. Outcomes can often be something that the person wishes to improve or resolve, so with the correct care in place, this can be achieved. Care can be adapted or constructed so that these outcomes are at the forefront of their care and are realistically able to be achieved. Resources can be used or offered to enable these outcomes to be achieved, sometimes these will be achieved over a period, not instantly. Using the persons strengths will contribute to the outcomes and will help them to feel in control. All outcomes should be driven by the person’s wishes and will be individual to them, this way they are achieving a personalised care plan. All outcomes will be meaningful to the individual and should be reviewed over time. 1.5 Identify legislative and policy drivers for personalised services Policy drivers can be statements or an objective
This was followed up by changes in the department of health where people were to be given more choice over what services they needed. The National service framework further increased the need for individualised services that related to a person’s needs rather than fitting into existing services. The care standards act 2000 developed the need to develop individualised service provision for people and for services to adapt to these needs. Person centred care was then incorporated into many policies to promote independence and the rights and choices of
...e service users, for instance from a supportive role to a safeguarding role. Paul Burstow, Minister of State for Care Services is trying to introduce the idea of the state as an enabling partner rather than a paternalistic authoritarian symbol of power. This is an important aspect of the personalisation, it should not entail only financial freedom from the state in the context of independent care budgets, and it should become apparent within the attitude towards service users. Leadbeater’s understanding of personalisation is astounding, he proposes subtly the application of the Nordic Model which will be discussed later on. “. . . putting users at the heart of services, enabling them to become participants in the design and delivery, services will be more effective by mobilising millions of people as co-producers of the public goods they value.” Leadbeater (2004)

Individuals need specific care tailored to them, it is vitality important to have the correct professional and appropriate personal care. In order to receive this we need to get the patient involved in the decision process, listen to their views and opinions and receive the relevant, accurate, professional and medical information. Once all the information is collaborated a personal care package can be put into practice.
As described by Collins A (Collins, 2014) and adopted by The Health Foundation, person-centred care must ensure four core principles: that people using the services should always be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Healthcare services offered should to coordinated by providing care, support, and treatment across multiple episodes and over time especially at various transition points. Care should be personalised to individual needs and aspirations by actively discussing priorities with individuals receiving care, their families, and carers. The care and support being offered should be enabling for patients by orienting services to support patients to recognise and build upon their strength and allow them to lead a more independent and fulfilling life. Wolff & Boult (Wolff, 2005) identified nine components of coordinated care: patient evaluation, individual care planning, evidence-based decision making, consumer empowerment, promotion of healthy lifestyles, coordination across multiple conditions, coordination across provider settings, caregiver support and education, and accessing community
As nurses, it is important that we “be both empowered and competent enablers of patient empowerment.” (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2014, p. 493) We took an oath to follow an ethical code which requires us to act as our patient’s advocate while providing safe nursing care. Nevertheless, we cannot make every medical choice or decision on their behalf. We also cannot empower them, “because to do so removes the element of choice.” (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2014, p. 501) We can, however, “facilitate empowerment by working directly with patients and through addressing social, political, and environmental factors affecting empowerment of individuals and communities.” (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2014, p. 493) In this paper, I will discuss how nurses can provide empowerment, some of the issues and constraints affecting empowerment, and how I feel regarding empowerment in my workplace.
Taking this into consideration when individualizing care with each client allows the nurse to take into a full understanding of how the client views health and
In social work there are many theories that are very beneficial. I think that empowerment theories are something you must know about. First, I will list some reasons why these theories are special. Then, we will explore the history of it. Thirdly, the key concepts will give us an open insight on what we are really talking about. Fourthly, we will focus on the term critical consciousness. Next is defining the empowerment concepts in a social context. Finally there will be information on the social work empowerment theories more in depth.
This article explain how healthcare providers should treat people as individuals, not to discriminate and act as an advocate for individuals receiving care. Also, how nurses should provide individual holistic care by playing an active role in ensuring that services within the hospital or community reflect the diverse needs of every individual irrespective of their background and also highlight the purpose of the Equality Act 2010 to healthcare providers and who it protects as far as discrimination is concern.

Individuals have flexibility in choices they make regarding their care. They are able to overlook and control the financial aspects of the personal budgets, putting them at the centre of the services and care they receive. By allowing the individual to have their own choice, this empowers them to take control over their lives and can boost their self-confidence. “The 2011 National Personal Budget Survey suggests that carers in England found that personal budgets were generally likely to have positive effects, with most users saying they had seen improvements in 10 out of 14 outcome areas from using personal budgets.” www.
According to Breau and RÉAume (2014), some of the major reasons nurses are dissatisfied with their jobs is due to their salaries, work environment, and lack of educational and advancement opportunities. In fact, poor working conditions was a substantial predictor of a nurse’s intent to quit their job (p. 16). In addition, “unhealthy work environments are an important determinant of several work-related outcomes, including burnout, job dissatisfaction and turnover intent” (Breau & RÉAume, 2014, p. 17). Therefore, in order for nurses to overcome their dissatisfaction with work; nurse leaders need to create empowering environments that remove barriers to resources and information. In turn, nurses will then be able to share empowerment strategies,
should be empowering, by so it provides resources, a relationship and sets the tone which people can enhance their own lives. It’s important for clinical social workers to emphasize on the clients strengths, positive reframing, and the use of language of solutions to guide clients in the direction to point out strengths and resources that are necessary for solving their problems and reaching their goals (Greene, Lee, & Hoffpauir, 2005).
Person-centred care is the treatment and care provided by any health service. This particular concept places the person at the centre of their own care and considers the needs of the individual and the surrounding family members. At the core of this concept is getting to know the patient as a person look beyond the illness and build a therapeutic relationship with both the patient and the surrounding family members and carers.

Working within the person centred approach you should be flexible Meeting patients' individual needs while respecting values, preferences and needs. ,making sure that you keep your patient informed about the treatment that they are receiving.
