...P1 In this essay I will be explaining the role of effective communication and interpersonal interactions in a health and social care. I will be using examples such as formal and informal communication as well as language, culture, proximity and the role of verbal and non-verbal communication. Communication can be defined as the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium (www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english /communication).

...The role of effective communication Task: Produce a document that explains the role of effective communication and interpersonal interaction in a health and social care context. Extend this work by assessing the role of effective communication and interpersonal Interaction in health and social care with reference to theories of communication (P1, M1). Communication is where an individual shares information through speaking, writing or body language. This could be texting an individual or using social media sites to interact. Communication is important in a health and social care setting as you may need to inform those around you about a certain patient. For example, when an individual is put into a caring home, the person (typically a family member) would tell the manager/ nurses about the patient. This is because they want the patient to feel comfortable in the home. This would require the manager to communicate with the care workers, so they all have a clear understanding. Effective communication extends the concept to require that transmitted content is received and understood by someone in the way that it was intended. The goals of effective communication include creating a common perception, changing behaviours and acquiring information. Effective communication begins with encoding, or the skill of relaying information in a clear, direct way that allows the receiver to correctly decode your message. Decoding is also a skill as it requires the receiver to ensure that...

...P1- Explain the role of communication and interpersonal interaction in a health and social care setting context. In this assignment, I will be discussing and explaining the different roles of communication and interpersonal interaction within a health and social care setting. Communication is a way of interacting and getting a message, or several messages, across using different types of methods of communication. Giving and receiving a message between two or more people is also known as conveying information, whether it is by speech, behaviour, visuals, signals or writing. Communication is very important in a health and social care setting. This is because messages need to be clear for a person to understand; many people struggle with some ways of communicating, especially the elderly. For example, the elderly need to be understood and looked after with great care, making sure they are being communicated with and assisted as expected. Communication is about understanding the information behind the emotions that take place. However, the word communication alone is all about transferring information. CONTEXT One to one conversations are usually confidential and play an important role in life, generally. This type of communication commonly appears face to face; one to one communication can emerge formally and informally. Formally, the body language and posture of an individual would be accomplished in a professional manner. An example of a formal one to one conversation, in...

...There are many ways to make communication and interpersonal interactions effective within the health and social care settings. Effective communication is a conversation in which everyone understands what's being said and no one gets confused. It can depend on the context (e.g. one-to-one or groups), the forms (like; oral, written or computerised) and the types of interpersonal interactions (e.g. speech and non-verbal). Communication can help to build relationships with the patients, which means they will trust you know what is best for them and that you'll give the best quality care possible. Interpersonal interaction is how someone interacts with someone else and the way you speak to a client, e.g. tone of voice and body language. The way you interacted or speak to someone can make them form an opinion of you so you have to make sure that you speak to the clients and colleagues appropriately and professionally. The context of communication can change its effectiveness and the client’s opinions of you examples of contexts are; formal and informal, one-to-one, between colleagues and between practitioners and service users. Formal communication is conducted in an official and professional way. It typically occurs with individuals who have not met each other before or when communicating with people in professional settings e.g. going to the GP. This is because the individual wants to give a good first impression and they want to come across official and professional. The practitioners...
