Similarities Between Ssc And Nmc

Introduction
Within this essay, I will be compare and consider the similarities and differences of the principles and guidelines within the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) for nurses and the SSSC (Scottish Social Services Council) codes of practice for social workers. I will discuss what professional education and training are within each sector, how to get and maintain a professional registration, I will give a bit of detail about the codes of conduct, ethical behaviour and explain about professional bounda ries. I will also explain the framework of care governance within the health and social care and also, I will explain the levels of accountability, responsibility, knowing the limits of the individual’s abilities also when referral

The SSSC codes of conduct contains 10 codes 5 are for employees and other 5 are for employers where as in the NMC there is 4 codes which are, prioritise people, practise effectively, preserve safety and promote professionalism. Both codes are very similar even when dealing with different patient groups both codes state in 1.1 to prioritise people and treat each person as an equal individual. These both codes of conduct should be followed correctly at all times by anyone working in the health and social care. The NMCs aim is there to protect the public and decides if a nurse or midwife is fit to practice up to their high standards. The NMC was published on the 29th January 2015 but didn’t come effective to 31st March 2015. On the other hand, the SSSC was first published in 2003 but got revised and then came a second version in 2016 these codes are a tool that’s used for the employees and workers within the care sector to frequently work on improving their practice

Having clinical supervision also gives the practitioner time to identify training to continue their development needs within the work place (Quality care commission,2013).
According to the Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Clinical supervision is vital in achieving and maintaining a high-quality practice which is safe and effective you should be promoting a good experience to the patient. This trust believes it would be best if clinical supervision was available to all clinical staff whether they are registered or not (Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation, 2014).
Supervision should include tasks such as having education and being able to develop skills essential for any tasks you will be involved in, you should always have guidance within your clinical area, if you need support and counselling this should always be available, if you are experiencing problems in care you should always be able to find assistance to help you with these difficult times and also at any given time you should be able to have a discussion on your skills and qualities that you need in the appropriate
