Reflective Account On NVQ Level 4 In Health And Social Care
NVQ LEVEL 4 IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE

REFLECTIVE ACCOUNT ON HSC 43 At my last annual appraisal - this was attended by myself and my line manager - I was able to look at and evaluate my overall performance over the last year; also, the training I have undergone ; and whether I have met all of my training targets that we set at my last appraisal.

I brought my up-to-date training file (where I have entered all details of my training and development and certificates achieved) to the meeting, so she could see that all of my targets were met.

We then discussed the parts of my role that had gone really well and the things that maybe could have gone better. For example, I have had staffing issues within the

This has at times caused tension within the team.

I have discussed this with the team - both individually at their supervision and at team meetings - to make sure I have all their opinions/feedback on record and that any extra duties are delegated fairly between the team.

I also discussed about my course at college NVQ Level 4 in HSC
, as this is a beneficial for me to do and I am keen to finish it and apply my acquired knowledge and skills at Manor House through this course.

We then discussed my having a mentor for this award, and one of my colleagues, who has already achieved it, is willing to be my mentor.

I am happy with this, as she is an experienced manager and, as well as helping me with the award, I am sure I can learn from her too.

We then discussed the supervisions of the team and I said I was up-to-date with these and with the training plan for the team. This is a requirement of the Minimum Care Standards to ensure good practice within the team, and therefore absolutely important to keep up to

    Sometime I also come across patients with challenging behaviour. Once I had a patient admitted on my ward named Mr F with challenging behaviour and communication was a problem. Understanding his request I found it very difficult, because the communication skills were very limited by the patient. One occasion became very frustrated with his behaviour and I became angry because of his demands. I got irritated and became rather “short” with him. I realised that this approach is in fact negative and that I needed to change my way of thinking. To be a commencement worker I needed to use skills of empathy and realised that it could be easy for me to lash out. I needed to deal with this and adopt a positive approach. I took into account that I am a care worker and that I have to change my attitude and to give more of myself. I felt I have to learn more about individuals with challenging and complex needs. Any values of beliefs of my own needed to go on the back burner and not stereotype those I am working with. I had to improve my practice as well and seek feedback from my manager. My manager has given me feedback and has encouraged and appreciated my thoughts.…

A social worker is bound to have a complete understanding of the objectives and goals of the process of counselling so as to be able to meet the client needs. (Geldard, 1989)…

    For my finial reflection I have decided to reflect on the reflective practice itself and my abilities to practice reflection, as it appears I am having some issues with the process. After receiving an A- on my last reflection, I spoke with my Faculty Advisor (FA) with the intention of discovering why I was not achieving marks in the A+ range on my reflections, and what I need to work on to improve on the quality of my reflections. Her feedback was that I was too broad in my approach; I spend too much time discussing the event and did not go into enough depth in my reflective analysis. I hope and anticipate that this reflection will be better; as I hope to demonstrate a deeper analysis of the issue and techniques I can use to improve my skills.…
