Personalisation means that anyone who receives care or support will have the choice and control over the care they receive. This can be from statutory services or can be funded by the individual themselves. This allows individuals to independent and to create their own care package. This also allows them to live as independent as possible with some support where needed. Any individual can control which care provider they would like to receive care from and of the individual isn't happy they are within their rights to change the provider if they wish. This also allows the individual to have a choice over which care staff they would like to have caring for them and allows them to choose what times and how they use their care. It also benefits individuals as it helps to build their independence and builds their confidence The relationship between personalisation and rights is a person's right to choice. Ie the person has a right to direct payments and to personalisation to allow them to choose which care provider they would like to provide their care. Personalisation means that someone has a personal budget to use direct payments to pay or their care. This allows the person to have a right to choose what care they receive and who from.

strategy, the mental capacity act and social care act are all legislation types that promote personalisation. In my local area is a few different sources that promote personalisation, the adult social services are one who can give access to personalisation and must promote personalisation to allow people to have a more individualised care. The think local act people allows for health and social care to follow the demographic chain in society meaning that because people are living longer it means that people have more choice over the health care and support they receive, meaning more people receive a personal budget. The valuing people now is nationwide and promotes Introduction to Personalisation in social care people who have learning disabilities to have more choice and control over the care they receive. Since the strategy has been in place it has allowed or more disabled people to have personal budgets also. Personalisation has now had a big impact on the process of commissioning in social care. previously commissioning was focused on buying care services as a whole meaning that all care was provided by the same care provider which social services agreed and commissioned with. That isn't the case any longer as now that personalisation is in place it allows individuals in control of purchasing their own care services with care providers they wish to be with. So now this means there is no longer a need for social care services to purchase care any longer. Direct payments and individual budgets support personalisation as it allows for all individuals to choose the place they receive their care. They can choose who they wish to be with or employ their own private carers to provide care and support or them in their own homes. In the past direct payments and personal budgets has also allowed for all individuals to be able to purchase equipment they may need to support them. This is to remain living as independent as possible. This could mean having budgets to buy a computer to allow them to complete shopping online. However in recent years these personal budgets have been reduced due to cutbacks in the care sector. Direct payments and personal budgets allow for all individuals to receive a set amount of hours to use which will be paid by the government and allows them to be able to choose how they would like to use their hours. Person centred thinking, planning and approaches support personalisation. This is because person centred planning allows for care providers and individuals to build support plans together, this means that individuals are actively involved in their care. This supports personalisation as it means that an individual has the right to choose which care provider they want to receive care from. If any care provider doesn't take into account what the individual wants in their care package,personalisation allows or an individual to easily move between care providers without having to look back through social services. Person centred approaches and thinking encourages individuals to have choice and control over their needs and wishes. This also allows or an individual's rights to be respected and means that the person will only receive care and support based around their needs which will encourage individuals to continue to do what they can and not feel a loss of control because carers have taken over control. As the individual has chosen the care provider to provide care themselves and if the care provider is not making the individual happy or providing the correct care, then the individual has the power to get rid of the care provider and find another care provider.Before personalisation took affect, social services and individuals would be placed with care providers that social services commissioned with and this meant that the individual had no power over who provided their care. Examples of how personalisation may affect the way an individual is supported from day to day is that the individual will have choice over the carers who provide them care.
The individual will also have set out a care plan with the care provider which analyses all of the individuals needs and outlines a plan for which carers they want to care for them. The care plan will be created with the individual present and will outline all their needs and wishes and preferences. Personalisation also allows or the individual to have total control over the hours they have each day and how they use them. This means the individual can have more hours to suit their
lifestyle. The skills and attitudes needed to implement personalisation are to ensure correct and up to date training is to be provided to all employers to ensure they keep up to date with new legislation and policies and procedures. Good skills to promote and implement personalisation is to be positive. This will encourage individuals to be more proactive and more involved. People with different experiences from different backgrounds can implement personalisation as it will mean different techniques used and different perceptions will allow for better personalisation. Team work is also essential for personalisation as it will allow or all staff to give ideas to promote personalisation.Barriers to personalisation can include lack of choice of care providers in the market. If there is only very few care providers available and the individual has received services from these providers and then the individual is unable to receive care they are happy with. This can limit what an individual is able to do as it may not fit with their lifestyle. The cost of care providers may also cause a potential barrier to the individual as their personal budget may only be a certain amount which may not allow or them to have a choice of care providers. The main barrier for individuals is that they may not be able to manage a direct payment themselves or various reasons. This means that they have less or no choice of who cares for them. Some ways which we can overcome barriers to personalisation is to promote social care to encourage a growth in private sector care providers. This would mean that there would be more care providers available and more choice. Another barrier which can be easily overcome is to encourage more cost effective options for individuals so they are able to have a choice over the care provider they are with. This barrier can be overcome by social services increasing the amount of money which is allocated to providing care for people. A way to overcome the barrier of an individual not being able to manage a direct payment card themselves would be to have a family member who manages the direct payments for them. This allows the individual and the family to have more choice of care providers and one that suits the individual the best. The types of support that individuals or their families might need to maximise the benefits of a personalised service is information about all the care providers which are available to them and information about the care they provide and information about the company itself. This can be gained from social services as they will have information about the care providers they commission with and about private sector care agencies. If an individual wishes to employ carers directly, they may require support services to enable them to be able to manage being an employer. The individual may also need guidance and assistance in making an informed decision about care providers and someone to talk to to outline their wishes and needs in a support plan. This normally happens with an allocated social worker who will give the individual information about care providers who will be suitable or them and also other care providers who may not be so suitable. Some individuals are unable to make informed decisions for themselves and may requires assistance from advocacy services
Person centred care means basing the care and support of a person around them. Looking at things from their perspective, promoting their beliefs, preference, likes and dislikes. They are involved in the development of their support plans, risk assessments and what they want to achieve. They determine what they want and how they want things doing. It promotes their individual needs and what is important to them. We listen to the individual and find out about their wishes and look at ways of carrying this out as safely as possible. We work with the individual, their families and others to empower the individual and to promote independence in their lives and ensure that the individual is supported to maintain their lives as they
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 individual will need to be encouraged to make decisions about the care they receive and the type of life they want to live and also ensure that their families are part of the decision making process.
A care relationship is special and requires skill, trust and understanding. This essay will elaborate how the quality of that relationship affects the quality of the care given and the experiences felt in receiving care. These different relationships will depend on the type of care given, who the care is given by and what sort of previous existing relationship there was to begin with. For a good care relationship to work it needs to follow the 5 K101 principles of care practice which are 'support people in maximising their potential','support people in having a voice and being heard','respect people's beliefs and preferences','support people's rights to appropriate services' and 'respect people's privacy and right to confidentiality'.(K101,Unit 4,p.183). If all of these needs are met a far exceptional quality of relationship between the carer and care receiver will be achieved.
Personalisation enables the service user to find the right way for them to participate in the delivery of their care. Therefore the service user receives support that is most suited to them.
Person centred practice is used to support individuals by doing things that people see when using health and social care services as equal. Person centred skills that are enforced to support individuals are used for several reasons, for example lives of individual’s that are supported are improving and are developing. This means by letting their family at the centre of their decisions and working alongside them to their best

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.
This provides people with control over their health care when they cannot speak for themselves. In other words, a health care directive is a legal document recognized by a legislative body to promote autonomy (The Health Care Directives Act, 1992). Autonomy is described as the quality to function independently (Mosby, 2013). Autonomy is the fundamental concept of health care directives, it allows people to openly express their personal values and beliefs, without judgement of health care decisions, “…autonomous decisions as those made intentionally and with substantial understanding and freedom from controlling influences” (Entwistle, Carter, Cribb, & McCaffery, 2010). When all information is provided, the individual can make an informed decision about their health care and have a right to no influencing factors. The health care directive document provide people the opportunity to consent to or refuse treatment and who will have the authority to make decisions on the individual’s behalf if unconscious, or mental incapacity arise (The Health Care Directives Act, 1992). In order to fully practice autonomy, especially in regards to health care directives, the appropriate mental development is key to comprehending
Privacy. It is the capacity to control who you see, when you see them and what others think about you. A superior comprehension of a person’s backgrounds gives data for making physical and social situations to meet their privacy and security needs. Make sure that a confidentiality policy is mandated and monitored by all staff working in a healthcare facility or those involve in the care planning of the patient. In private facility care, respect individuals' space by empowering them to customize their own
Autonomy is identified as another professional value and one that the nurse must possess. Autonomy is the right to self-determination. Nurse’s respect the patient’s right to make a decision regarding their healthcare. Practical application includes, educating patients and their families on their choices, honoring their right to make their own decision and stay in control of their health, developing care plans in collaboration with the patient (Taylor, C. Lillis, C. LeMone, P. Lynn, P,
A care worker has many responsibilities. For example, it is a care worker’s responsibility to treat each individual fairly and equally with care. This is because a care worker would have to help people who have difficulties doing everyday tasks like getting up out of bed, getting to different places around the home, getting dressed, using the facilities and on some occasions eating. Some clients in the home could have physical disabilities, learning disabilities or mental illnesses such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. A role that a care worker could have is spending quality time with the residents, talking to them and doing activities as a group. This will make the residents feel valued and cared for. Another role that a care worker could have would be to tend to a
Education is neither linear nor static. It requires evolution and fluctuations. I received my undergraduate degree in Exercise Science at UNC Charlotte, and now it is time for a prime conversion to be made. Attending the Masters of Public Health program at UNC Charlotte would open the door for me to pursue my career aspirations in health care. Specifically, I am interested in epidemiological methods in community health. My ambition, perseverance, and work ethic have brought me to a high point, and enrolling in the Masters in Public Health program would raise that threshold even higher.
I am writing this letter because I am highly motivated to do the Health Psychology master’s program and I want to be considered as a candidate. I have a Bachelor’s Degree of Psychology from Budapest, Hungary with the highest grade 5. My qualification has already been sent to UK NARIC and the Statement of Compability will arrive to you shortly at the beginning of September. I am applying for this course because I have always wanted to be a psychologist and the Cardiff Metropolitan University can provide my next step to do so.
For example, their choice ( if they want to do it) is taking the patient's specific directions when helping them with their ADL routine, choosing their ADL products and outfits. It is also important to continue to respect them, encourage them, respect their ideas/desires to incorporate a family member (only family member(s) designated by them that they want involved in their care), being addressed by the name they prefer to be called, and in incorporating them as full partners in deciding and providing their care. Don Berwick in the YouTube video is sad today about his right knee surgery which he didn't think was necessary. To avoid cases like this, we can “do for them” by incorporating them into their care plan as a full partner. The goal is to work with them with encouragement to regain their strengths again.
