To enable individuals to have a choice and control over the services they receive they must be placed at the centre of the decision making process, the current changes within the health and social care sector reinforce the idea that it is the individual in need of these services that knows best what their needs are and how they can be met effectively. Within my workplace we support and encourage service users to partake in their own care planning process to ensure the care they receive is personalised/ tailored to them as an individual, it contains personal likes/ dislikes/ preferences and choices regarding every aspect of their life. To improve the life choices and quality of care of all residents for whom we provide support and services

...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)
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.
Service user involvement and participation has become a standard principle in guiding social care planning in order to improve in the developing and delivery of service to meet diverse and complex needs in a more effective way. Key pieces of legislation states plainly that service users through a partnership approach should be enabled to have voice on how the services they are using should be delivered (Letchfield, 2009). The Scottish Executive (2006a:32) helpfully state ‘Increasing personalisation of services is both an unavoidable and desirable direction of travel for social work services. Unavoidable in the sense that both the population and policy expect it; desirable in the extent to which it builds upon the capacity of individuals to find their own solutions and to self-care, rather than creating dependence on services’
One of the five key principles of care practice is to ‘Support people in having a voice and being heard,’ (K101, Unit 4, p.183). The key principles are linked to the National Occupational Standards for ‘Health and Social Care’. They are a means of establishing and maintaining good care practice. Relationships based on trust and respect should be developed between care receivers and care givers, thus promoting confidence whilst discussing personal matters without fear of reprisal and discrimination.

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.
To provide a high quality of care where patients needs are met consistently, as well as benefiting nurse workload and patient assignments.
Additionally, personal organisation is a strong skill in which I possess. This is because I am able to organise myself effectively to ensure that al deadlines, dates and times were met appropriately and that I am always on time and not late. I would need to be organised for a health care job as I would have to be on time for work changeovers to ensure that I had up to date knowledge on how patients are doing.
As a whole there can be multiple effects as a consequence of discrimination and multiple participants that will be affected by discrimination.
My philosophy of nursing is based on Erickson’s Theory of Modeling and Role-Modeling, which allows me to incorporate the patients’ needs into my plan of care. In order to have an effective and thorough plan of care, I must take the time to get to know the patient. Once I have built a rapport and trusting relationship, I can help meet the patients’ needs by implementing a plan of care with reachable goals. These reachable goals will be set and agreed upon by the nurse and patient. Not only is it important for the nurse and patient to establish individualized reachable goals, but it is important for the nurse to also have goals. The nurse may have personal and professional goals. My goals are to continually find, propose, and implement ways to make the
Within this essay, I will reflect and critically analyse an OSCE which has increased my awareness, or challenged my understanding, in assessing the holistic needs of a service user (John), referred by his GP, whilst incorporating a care plan using the Care Programme Approach (CPA). By utilising this programme and other sources of current literature, I hope to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding in relation to this skill as well as identifying areas with scope for learning.

Needs were increasingly seen in individualistic rather than social terms, with more emphasis on individualism, less on changing the social environment. ‘Personalized’ care and personal budgets have developed in health and social care, to give individuals more say over how their needs are catered for. This can encourage the use of private care in place of direct State service provision. REF 13 (Chandler,
Health is a condition of optimal well being. Being healthy includes being in a state of physical, mental and social well being. I have been exposed to the healthy and the unhealthy in all three areas. Growing up I had two younger brothers with chronic illnesses. Chronic illness is a recurrent illness or disease with periods of exacerbation and remission. One of my brothers was extremely ill with a chronic kidney disease and on several occasions received Last Rites. My youngest brother acquired a staph infection in both of his eyes; tear ducts and tears glands when he was a new born. I was the oldest of four children so shared in the responsibility for all three of my brothers. In addition to that, my grandmother came to live with us and we became roommates. My grandmother was a diabetic, controlled with diet and oral medication and had a standing appointment with the podiatrist monthly for routine foot care. I accompanied her most often and what a nice time we would have. On our return trip home the taxi cab driver would drop us off just a few blocks from the house. We would window shop, pick up Mum’s medicine and then stop for lunch. I always ordered a chopped steak, French fries with gravy and a frosty root beer to drink. Sometimes we would treat ourselves to a quarter pound of whole cashews and eat those as we walked the last steps home. It seems strange that I remember exactly what I would order for lunch on those trips, but the memories are still very vivid.
