Public health (PH) is an issue continually on the UK Government agenda and one in which it is anticipated that all health professionals will participate in (Nuttall, 2008). PH focuses on the health and well-being of a society and is the most effective means of protecting and improving it. It addresses the root causes of illness and disease, including the interacting social environmental, biological, and psychological dimensions, as well as the provision of effective health services. PH relies on evidence, judgement and skills and promotes the participation of the populations who are themselves the subject of policy and action (United Kingdom Public Health Association (UKPHA), 2008).…

There are significant differences in a working relationship and the kind of personal relationships you may have with your friends or family. A working relationship is different because of: specific objectives and purpose; professional boundaries( limits that tell you what you can and cannot do in your job role ); professional codes of conduct; employer policies and procedures; time limits; being in some cases a one-way relationship. Personal relationships are based on emotions and are informal. In personal relationships you often share support between each other and feelings and thoughts as you can be who you are with family or friends. Personal relationships involve doing things together outside of work.…
Overview: In the absence of a national consensus about health care reform, many cities have taken the lead in providing health care and protecting their residents’ health and welfare. For example, San Francisco provides universal health access for its residents, while New York and Chicago ban unhealthy ingredients, such as trans fat, or unhealthy behaviors such as smoking. What is the government’s role in regulating healthy and unhealthy behavior, especially if the government bears the financial responsibility for health care? It is a fine balance between personal freedom and the government’s responsibility to provide for the health and welfare of the majority of its citizens. Have these local governments gone too far?…

Sources B and C mainly provide similar evidence for attitudes towards Public Health and the dangers of an outbreak of disease in 1849 because they both agree that public health in certain areas were much worse than those which were affected by the new Public Health Act. This is clear because Source B refers to, “We live in muck and filthe” and Source C refers to, “We also want sewers and an ample supply of water”. They also both agree that there are dangers of an outbreak of disease in 1849 for Source B refers to, “if the Cholera comes lord help us” and in Source C, the author claims that, “without which no efficient sanitary measures can be carried out”, which is referring to the anxiety…
No secrets: Guidance on developing and implementing multi-agency policies and procedures to protect vulnerable adults from abuse There can be no secrets and no hiding place when it comes to exposing the abuse of vulnerable adults. The Government’s White Paper, ‘Modernising Social Services’, published at the end of 1998, signalled our intention to provide better protection for individuals needing care and support. This is being taken up through the Care Standards Bill. We are also committed to providing greater protection to victims and witnesses, and the Government is actively implementing the measures proposed in ‘Speaking Up for Justice’, the report on the treatment of vulnerable or intimidated witnesses in the criminal justice system. That report recognised that there were concerns about both the identification and reporting of crime against vulnerable adults in care settings, and endorsed the proposals made by the Association of Directors of Social Services, and others, that a national policy should be developed for the protection of vulnerable adults.…

In my report I will show my understanding and knowledge of the importance of communication skills in care settings and about values involved in care practise. I have chosen to do my report on educational settings and I will focus on how individuals with specific needs communicate in both group interactions and one-to-one interactions. I will do this by working in a class on both Thursday and Friday mornings where the pupils have specific needs. I will observe the communication with the teacher and students and also the communication between the students and myself when I take on the role of the teacher. Also, I will take into account the barriers that effect communication such as; cultural differences, Language differences, difficulty in understanding accents and physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties.…
