...The Structures of Health and Social Care Provision- Introduction to Essay- During this essay I will be discussing the overall structure of social care provision in England. I will outline the different types of care provided by social services and what barriers may occur to prevent one from being able to use them. I will be analysing the structure of both the new and old social care provision, and discussing the changes which have been put in place. Lastly, I will concentrate on primary and secondary care, and looking at different types of regulation methods to ensure that social services are up to the government’s standards. The Structure of Social Care Provision- The Office of the Director is the central office at NIH (National Institutes of Health). It is responsible for setting policies, managing, planning and coordinating all of the activities for all of the NIH components. The Office of the Director is directly in charge of the Children’s Division, the Family Support Division, the MO HealthNet Division, the Division of Youth Services and the Information Technology Services Division. However, it holds responsible for all Divisions. The Children’s Division looks after children and young people; it includes services such as adoption services, foster care, abuse and neglect investigations and the child welfare manual. The Family Support Division helps to ensure that families achieve an appropriate level of self-support and care through needs based...

...cost effective operation as well. In addition to discussing techniques on how to approach an aviation operation and transform it into a safe and self-sufficient system, this paper will also discuss the most important ingredient, training. System Safety has been defined by the United States Naval Safety Center as the accepted methodology for identifying potential hazards during the design process and preventing hazards by addressing their root causes. This methodology proactively identifies risks inherent in a process, reviews operational systems for possible failure modes and provides a systems engineering practice principles approach to tracking and resolution of potential hazards (safetycenter.navy.mil, 2008). The Department of the Army has taken this concept very seriously and has written a 55-page pamphlet containing very detailed information on how to use and implement a System Safety Program way back in 1987. Outside the United States Government, many civilian industries are now being pressed to assume corporate social responsibility and improve safety for employees and the environment, keep in mind, these industries have not been typical users of...

...Mental Health Nursing By Neil Drummond Essay 3048 words Care Plan 1676 words Overall wordage 7186 The aim of this essay is to show how I have formed, maintained and disengaged from a therapeutic relationship within a practice setting. This will include a profile of the client from their perspective. For the purpose of this essay, the therapeutic relationship was formed within the community mental health team. Their role is the primary intervention service promoting awareness, growth and helping people to work through difficulties (Mind.org, 2013). The interventions provided aim to facilitate comfort, support and a provision of care. The client I have chosen to write this essay on is called Angelo. Angelo is a fictitious name created to protect the individual’s right to confidentiality (NHS, 2012, N.M.C, 2008). The interaction was conducted because of a 6 month cognitive enhancer medication (galantamine) review. I will show an understanding of the importance of a therapeutic relationship building and the values that influence the formulation of mental health nursing assessment and care planning (Schultz and Videbeck, 2009). Appendix 1 will show the plan of management including risk and relapse. Appendix 2 will show the individualised Risk Assessment (profile). In my conclusion I will reflect upon my therapeutic encounter and will address the importance of knowledge and qualities needed to form, maintain and disengage from the therapeutic relationship in mental health nursing...

...changing focus of public health by Maria Joyce Key sections include: Environment, infectious disease, locating public health, the enlightenment, the Sanitarians, national provision of services, the inception of the National Health Service, ‘crisis in health’, The New Right, The Third Way, new public health. Public health, the new ideology may be taken to mean the promotion of healthy lifestyles linked to behaviour and individual responsibility supported by government action; whereas traditionally the description tended to relate more to sanitary reform and ‘healthy conditions’. The chronological development of public health is mapped out, supported by the outlining and discussion of the emerging themes and influences pertaining to the study of public health. The approach to public health is positioned alongside the health of the population and the prevailing political/societal influence at the time. Public health is impacted on by poverty and environmental factors. Presently government policy to improve public health is delivered in a strategy that recognises the need for health improvement at times when the greatest impact on health is poverty and exclusion. The evidence reviewed demonstrates clearly that poor health without appropriate resources or intervention is cumulative and that the ‘right’ form of intervention can bring about long term health gains. Intervention from a national agenda needs to include individual’s health and the health of the community brought...

...highest influx of refugees in Europe since the second world-war. To some people this crisis may seem a relatively new phenomenon, however in actual fact it has been ongoing for the past five years. The war in Syria commenced on the 15th of March 2011, as a result of the conflict between the Syrian government, led by the Al-Assad family and the pursuit of the Syrian people for democracy. In critically analysing the statement ‘Solving the Syrian Refugee Crisis’, a noticeable bias becomes directly apparent in the use of the word ‘solving’. Solving an issue refers to finding an answer to, explanation for, or a way of dealing with a problem. This would suggest there are approaches that could be taken to help the Syrian people. Therefore, this essay will discuss the evolution of the Syrian refugee crisis, current control measures in place, and possible suggestions which I feel would significantly help in resolving this crisis. Since March 2011, the Syrian civil war has inflicted great human casualty with over 240,000 people killed, 7.6 million people internally displaced and approximately half of the pre-war population in need of urgent assistance (Jonson, 2015). The Syrian civil war reached its pinnacle when the extremist terrorist group, ISIS used the civil unrest as an “opportunity to enter the country and create a totalitarian Islamic caliphate” (Agency, 2015). The arrival of this organisation brought terror on an extreme scale and Syrian people were subject to fatal war crimes...

Methods: A case study approach was used. The single case being a Defence School of Health Care Studies (DSHCS) and the multiple units of analysis: student nurses, the lecturers and Student Standing Orders. An in depth three dimensional picture was achieved using multiple data collection methods: interview, survey, observation and document analysis. Findings: The findings suggest that the DSHCS is perceived to be a sub-culture within a dominant civilian learning culture. Generally, the students and staff believed that the DSHCS is an excellent learning environment and that the defence students overall are high achievers. The common themes that appeared from the data were image, ethos, environment, discipline, support, welfare and a civilian versus military way of thinking. Conclusion: The learning experience of defence student nurses is very positive and enhanced by the positive learning culture of the civilian Higher Educational Institution. The factors influencing a positive learning experience that...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...

...What are the main types of agency that organisations use in recruitment? What are their major costs and benefits? I. Introduction This essay examines the major cost and benefits of the main types of agencies, that organisations use in recruitment. In first part I will explain background of the market. Then I will move on to explain each of the types of agency used in recruitment. After that I will carefully examine their major costs and benefits and as a conclusion I will explain where I see a future of the recruitment market, supported by my arguments for the strongest type of market. II. Background One of the ways how the company can attract potential employee is to advertise job vacancies through the employment agencies. Recruitment market in the UK changed a lot over the last decade as it was influenced by factors such as: immigration, ageing of population, evolution of internet, slow growth of economy in the UK, war in Iraq, changes in working patterns and many regulations supporting disadvantaged groups of working age people. The recruitment market is from government side regulated by The Department of Work and Pension. The government is committed to take care of the welfare of its people. Department of Work and Pension helps to tackle contemporary issues with introducing New Deal, creation of Jobcentre Plus and introducing National Minimum Wage. Proposal of the new Welfare Reform Bill is debated in the House of Commons and hopefully will come into practice...

...GRE Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Topic - 1 "Important truths begin as outrageous, or at least uncomfortable, attacks upon the accepted wisdom of the time." GRE AWA Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Sample Solution – 1 “The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.” ― Niels Bohr[->0] This is a proven fact that truth is the initial stage of progress. However, it is also believed that truth always starts away from the traditions and conventions. Therefore, people consider truths as attacks upon their beliefs, which people are following from ages. Truth also means some new facts that are unknown to us. People do not want to deviate from the facts, which they have learnt from their ancestors, and it is true to say that shedding ones dogmas is often difficult. They feel that it is an attack on their wisdom. If we look at the history of the world, we will find many examples where truth has generated commotions in the society. Different people have different views about the existence of God, life after death and origin of earth etc. For example, people took a long time to accept that the earth is round. Religious leaders and clergymen opposed this idea as it was against what they were teaching. Similarly, when Polish astronomer, Copernicus discovered that the earth goes round the sun and not vice versa, he was opposed by churches for many years. In fact he and his supporters were...

...deep disagreement about the current state of black America and the policies that ought to follow from that, most would agree that the status of African Americans has changed dramatically, if insufficiently, since Brown. Not only has the system of legal segregation been eliminated and widespread prejudice diminished, but the economic, political and educational status of many blacks has significantly improved. Gunnar Myrdal’s An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy, generally viewed as one of the most important results of grantmaking by Carnegie Corporation of New York, played a major role in the story that led from an America, which after World War II still had a legal Jim Crow system in the South—along with a segregated army—to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It was cited as the social scientific evidence justifying the Supreme Court’s decision that what had been deemed separate but equal education for black children was, in fact, detrimental to their development. Published in 1944 (by Harper & Bros.; reprinted in 1996 by Transaction Publishers), An American Dilemma served to crystallize the emerging awareness that racial discrimination and legal segregation could not endure in the...
