Work in Partnership in Health and Social Care.
Understanding Partnership Working
There are many advantages to partnership working. The main advantage being, that when all partnerships work together it enables the service user to have a better quality of life and sustain authority and freedom over their own lives. Good Partnership working between individuals and health and social care providers will encourage compliance with care as well as promote a positive outlook with a service which people participate in rather than simply receive. Each Health and Social Care provider will have their own expertise in their own line of work. They will also have their own unique relationship with the individual, here are just some for example? The Carer that provide the service user with support with personal care, social visits, making meals and everyday living. The Managers of the carers, that put together care plans, rotas, risk assessments and keep all carers updated on the service user’s needs and most importantly manages the team of carers to make sure there job role is being adhered to. The Social Worker that will ensure that the person in question is safe guarded and supported, they will liaise with the service users families and support with the commencement of care companies for supported living, support with financial needs, living allowances, bills and housing. The Advocate that arranges activities, day centres and liaises with all the service providers, the advocate is solely there to make sure all partnerships are following procedures and looking after the service user’s needs adequately The Family and Friends that will often know an individual’s particular way of communicating their preferences and the best approach to use. Sharing their knowledge, history and understanding of what needs to be in place helps to ensure the best possible care. Working with the professionals as equal partners will lead to tailored person-centred support
