...Unit 1 Developing Effective Communication in Health and Social Care P1. EXPLAIN THE ROLE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION AND INTERPERSONAL INTERACTION IN A HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE CONTEXT. Effective communication is when someone is sharing information, thoughts and feelings between people through speaking, writing and body language with the message being easily understood. In a health and social care setting an example is when a nurse in a hospital it speaking to a patient about their diagnosis and the patient is able to understand their illness and how it can be treated without being confused. Effective communication is also important in a health and social care setting as it allows the health care worker to perform their role effectively, which allows them to work along with their colleges and efficiently with patients and also their highest capability. Also the benefits of effective communication helps strengthen relationships with service users, families and colleagues, helps to carry out appropriate reporting and recording, develops confidence and self-esteem, create a good rapport and helps to make sure the needs of service users are met. Interpersonal interaction is how you interact with someone, how you spread feelings through verbal and non-verbal communication.

...Roles of effective 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. Group: Group communication is getting a small group of people together; this is more than 3 people. These work better when the group is small as the leader can interact better than working with a large group. In health care, group communication can range to drug abuse to various phobias which people want to overcome. Informal communication: Anyone can use informal communication, this is usually used with close friends and family this can be as a group or one-to-one.

...Introduction Marketing- is the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. A more simple definition is the right product, in the right place, at the right time, at the right price. It involves a business trying to understand its customers by identifying their needs and produce the products which satisfy those needs. The concept of marketing is that firms should analyse the needs of their customer and then make decisions to satisfy those needs, better than the competition. Nowadays most firms have adopted this marketing concept but it’s not always the case. The philosophy of this concept came around after World War II, when people had to be selective with the products they brought and only buy the ones that meet their needs and requirements but to businesses these would not always be obvious. Now companies have to always keep customers in mind when thinking of a product and the market is so competitive you will need to be the best product out there in that market to have the most chance of being brought. Three simple questions are often used when businesses decided to come up with a new product; what do customers want? Can we develop it while they still want it? How can we keep our customers satisfied? All being very good and valid questions to ask which will help to increase customer satisfaction as they are always in their minds. The two businesses I have chosen to use in order to compare and contrast their marketing...

...READING: PARKIN CH 9 Lecture Plan 1. INCOME EXPANSION PATHS ( Inferior & Superior Goods ( Engle Law 2. Price-Consumption Paths ( Changing Relative Prices ( Deriving the Price-Consumption Path ( Deriving Individual Demand Curves 3. Income & Substitution Effects Income Expansion Paths 1 Introduction In Figure, we see an individual consuming two goods X1 and X2 with P1=$1, P2=$1 and total income is $20. We also see that his/her tastes are described by three indifference curves marked I1, I2 and I3. Since he/she can at most spend $20, his/her budget constraint can be described by the budget line BB’. Suppose now that his/her income level increases from $20 to $40. How could we derive the new budget line? Note that prices of X1 and X2 are still $1. If you spend all amount of this $40 to X1, he can now buy 40 units of this good (depicted by Point C’ in Figure 2.2). Likewise, allocating all $40 to X2 allows him/her to buy 40 units of X2 (depicted by Point C). If an individual’s income level increases but relative prices don’t change, the budget line will shift outward and the gradient of the budget line unchanges. With this new budget line CC’ or new budget constraint (income ( to $40), the individual will choose the bundle at which the MRS of X2 for good X1 is equal to the gradient of CC’. Using the above analysis, when the income level increases to $60, the updated budget line becomes...

...2005 1 Ricardian model The Ricardian model provides the simplest setting to illustrate comparative advantage and the gains from trade in a general equilibrium setting. I will use a simple example to discuss the Ricardian model. Two countries, Canada and the US produce two commodities, corn and umbrellas. (The obvious alliteration is used as a mnemonic device.) Definition of comparative advantage: A country (e.g. Canada) has a comparative advantage in the production of a commodity (e.g. corn) if the ratio between it’s pre-trade marginal costs of that commodity (corn), and its pre-trade marginal cost of producing “the other” commodity (umbrellas) is lower than that of its trading partner. 1.1 Technology and markets The Ricardian model assumes that production uses only 1 input (labor), with constant returns to scale. This assumption means that the technology in each country and each sector is entirely determined by the labor requirement per unit of output. The other assumptions are that (a) labor moves freely between sectors within a country, but (b) labor cannot move between countries. Assumption (a) implies that in a particular country, the wage must be the same in both sectors; assumption (b) means that the wage need not be the same (and typically is not the same) in the two countries. In addition, all agents are price takers, i.e. there is perfect competition. In my example, the unit labor requirements are unit labor requirement Corn (good 1) US Canada au = 1 1 Umbrellas...
