...Developing Effective Communication in Health and Social Care – Task 4 One-to-One In class, I participated in a one-to-one role-play with a fellow classmate. I played as a teacher and my peer played as a student who was being socially excluded by her classmates. She came to me one day really upset and explained that she was being socially excluded from the rest of the class. I suggested we go to a quiet room where we could talk by ourselves and I had to consider my approach carefully as I didn’t want to upset her even more. As part of my course, my class and I had to participate in a group event called Christmas cheer. This included us getting into groups to cook food which would be served to the elderly. We first had to decide what groups we would be in and this was done very easily and quickly This included our class getting into small groups and cooking food which the elderly would be served during this event. I was partnered up with four girls from my class who on several occasions I had to have a group discussion with. The first discussion we had to do is to discuss what we were going to cook. One of the girls decided to do scones whilst a few others wanted to do a gingerbread house. We finally decided on welsh cakes and then had to find a recipe for them.

...For this piece of coursework I will be describing how anti-discriminatory practice is promoted in health and social care settings. I will also be discussing the difficulties that may arise when implementing anti-discriminatory practice There are many ways in which to promote anti-discriminatory practice that are effective and have minimal chance of failure, the first way is staff training. This can be effective as it gives the workers an insight in how this practice is shown and ways to identify it, it informs them of how to prevent it and stop it from happening again. Training gives them a clear structure to follow to deal with this practice and how to avoid breaking the law. Training also puts the worker in the client’s shoes and shows them the effects of discrimination in hope to deter them from doing it again. Another way health organizations promote anti-discriminatory practice is by making sure they are welcoming for everyone; they do this by commutating to people in their preferred way whether it be Arabic to sign language. If they are unable to provide this service they should find someone who can, i.e. a translator. They should also take in to consideration the different beliefs and values the service users may have, this would be beneficial as it makes the user feel valued and respected, and they are made to feel s if they are at the heart of service. For example a client who is Muslim, letting them practice their religion as it is a religious requirement to pray...

The weaknesses of one to one if that the person you are trying to talk to may not be comfortable therefore they may not want to talk. Participating in a group discussion if a bit like one to one but with more people. A group discussion only works if the people want to be involved. Some people who work in a group try and stay quiet as they are worried what the group’s reactions might be. It is important to maintain a good emotional atmosphere so that everyone in the group feels comfortable to talk. Sometimes there are team leaders but there doesn’t have to be. It is a good idea to have a team leader as they can encourage others to express their ideas.

...communication and interpersonal interaction in a health and social care P1: Communication can happen in two types either one-to-one or in groups. One-to-one: One to one communication is the interaction between two people; other types of one-to-one communication could be email or instant messaging. Examples of one-to-one communication in health care could be a patient talking to their doctor, a doctor talking to a patient's family and a doctor breaking sensitive news to a patient.

These work better when the group is small as the leader can interact better than working with a large group.

...Environmental factors The environment can be a barrier to effective communication. Environmental factors such as the setting, seating arrangements and time can affect the way a person communicates and interacts. However in health and social care there are ways that can solve these factors so that every individual feels that they are confident enough to communicate and interact with health and social care professionals. Many problems can occur with the environment in a health and social care setting that can prevent people from communicating. The physical environment can have an impact on communication in different ways. www.collinseducation.com (assessed on 16/11/14) All health and social care settings can improve the effectiveness of communication in many ways. For example the changes that can be made to the physical environment in a health and social care setting is that poor lighting can be replaced by brighter light so that everyone can see and which will make it easier for people with poor vision to look around the setting. Another change could be putting suitable signs around the setting and posters which are in different languages so that every individual can read information that may be useful to them.

...Evidence 1: This will probably be about a paragraph. Include text evidence and the reasoning. Privacy issues is a key factor in the HGP. According to Alexda, “Discrimination by employers and insurers: Life insurance could be impossible to get and more expensive if you have any genetic likelihood of serious disease. Furthermore, employers may discriminate against people who are genetically likely to get a disease and be favourable to those who are healthy.” This is explaining that if anyone knows your genotype, you have an extreme chance to get treated differently. We are opening up more discrimination and bullying. You could not get jobs, or health insurance the same way or get your price raised. Also as stated “Employers may discriminte against people who are genetically likely to get a disease and be favorable to those who are healthy.” This means if in the future you are likely to get a disease, employers are going to look past you and favor healthier people. Doctors, orginazations, goverment agencies, and more all have access to your genetic information. In the future our genes could determine how we are treated. We then have to worry about people not giving us the treatment we need. Evidence 2: This will probably be about a paragraph. Include text evidence and the reasoning....
