Assignment title Unit 5/ Working in Partnership in Health and Social Care
Purpose of this assignment
Working in partnership is a key element of practice within health and social care. The concepts of power sharing, consultation and joint ways of working are essential for effective service provision. Health and social care professionals need to understand the importance of promoting autonomy with individuals. They also need to be aware of their own roles and responsibilities and how they relate to others within the sector.
Learners will explore the nature of partnership on three levels. First, they will examine partnerships with users of services that empower individuals to make informed decisions and encourage independence. Second they will consider partnerships between different professionals within health and social care and explore inter-agency working. Finally, they will investigate organisational partnerships and examines different ways of joint working at a strategic level.
Learners will study a range of theories and research findings relating to partnership philosophies and joint working practices. Methods of promoting positive partnership working will be analysed along with relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures. Learners will also examine strategies to improve the outcomes of partnership working for users of services, professionals and organisations.
Scenario
You should use your own work practice/placement from the Health & Social Care sector to support your answers for ALL tasks (or scenario/ case study).
Case Study
A summary of the serious case review of Adult A who had a moderate learning disability and who died suddenly on 10 March 2010 whilst clearing papers young people had scattered in his garden. His death was found to be from natural causes (the combination of a heart attack and a small cancerous tumour), but the pathologist stated that the stress of the harassment experienced by Adult A and his family during the day and evening of his death could have been exacerbated the medical issues. The family suffered many incidents of harassment since moving to their house in 1971. During the period from January 2007 to March 2010 over 90 recorded incidents of burglary, harassment and general anti-social incidents were recorded by a variety of agencies. Many incidents had been reported to the police. The review concluded that although agencies had taken, there were often delays and action was uncoordinated. A number of recommendations were made, including the need for improved information and sharing between agencies. (original extract)
