Recommended: Patient rights and responsibility importance

The NHS Plan (2000) tackled the system which had become outdated since 1948, reformed IPW and IPC and put service users at the heart of the service. The Plan highlights an almost paternalistic approach towards patients and the lack of rights to question the care they receive. The NHS Plan represented a milestone not only by introducing key points (such as continuity of care, erasing division between staff, reducing waiting time, empowering patients through choices, recognising the importance of performance monitoring, targets to reduce health inequalities and provide a healthy start for children) but also recognising the need for the service user's voice, which reshaped the whole healthcare system (NHS, 2000).

This is a transferable skill which I aim to employ within midwifery. I enjoy engaging with people and have an attitude of being persistent in problem solving. I have an open minded, receptive attitude for other people's opinions, as I know everybody perceives situations from various angles. I enjoy listening to people, to their experiences, opinions and knowledge on various topics and I think with each profession possessing so much knowledge, that interprofessional connections are the only way to completely cover individuals health and social care needs and wishes. I am naturally non-judgemental and anti-discriminatory and approach everybody with the same kind and caring manner. The main competence I am taking forward and aiming to improve on, is to learn more about other professionals frameworks. I found it very inspiring to read other professions frameworks during my research for this assignment and also during my placement

    D1: I have decided to look at a 6 year old going through bereavement. Bereavement means to lose an individual very close to you. When children go through bereavement they are most likely to feel sad and upset about the person’s death. Children at a young age may not understand when a family member dies. Children may not understand bereavement. For example a 6 year old’s father been in a car crash and has died from that incident. Death is unpredictable and children can’t be prepared for a death of a family member as no one knows when someone is going to die or not. Unfortunately every child can experience bereavement even when a pet dies. It is important that we are aware that effects on the child so we can support them in the aftermath.

    The original ethos behind the NHS was the belief that, through the provision of universal and complete health care, free at the point of provision, the NHS would eliminate significant disease and thereby work itself out of a job. Clearly a naive view by today's standards, this ethic remains one of the problems of the NHS today: the electorate still believes that there is intrinsic value in a universal and complete NHS, although no-one can agree on exactly what constitutes 'complete' health care, and none can say what the actual benefit of attempting to provide this (rather than rationed care)...

    I was very excited to have healthcare as the topic for my groups presentation, I’ve personally never had to deal with the logistics of healthcare or even needed to know how it worked. If I was sick I would go to the hospital or see a doctor and as long as they took my insurance, we were good to go. When we first started thinking about our topic as a group and the elements we wanted to add, we asked ourselves this: “What have we heard about healthcare but know nothing about?” the result was three main categories Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. We assumed that as a group if we knew little about these topics, then there was a good chance no one in the class did either. Some of the things I found most interesting during the process of creating
