There were a range of interactions observed between staff, patients and families/carers within the department as noted in appendix 2 sections 5-8. A central touch point was interactions with the department’s reception staff. The receptionist was heard on more than one occasion providing reassurance to parents and carers. The calmness of her approach visibly reduced expressed anxieties. This in turn positively impacted on the ambiance of the department which always felt calm even though children where active and playing. During a telephone conversation respect for patient/family preferences was observed. This is another dimension of patient centred care identified by the Picker Institute. This interaction also demonstrated compassion and empathy

Everyone in the office has known set guideline of what their daily tasks that they are to complete. I think this is attributed to such the calm mood in the office. There are times that things can get hectic and, usually during our morning meetings, but after that the mood dissolve and disappear. There is a front desk as you walk in the front door, since I have started at the agency there is no one there. For the most part there is no need for a receptionist. None of our clients physically come into our offices. We go to them, in the comfort of their home. This is because our clients are our clients because of terminal or chronically ill patients. We are there to provide a comfortable life. With there being so many workers in and out of the office, whoever is working from the office, becomes the receptionist. I’m defining the Receptionist role as answering the phone. Our phones ring constantly. When our patients have questions, are concerns, it is the quickest way to get a hold of us. While each of the workers who visit the patients has a cell the office is also another way of contacting us. It is fundamentally important that our patients and patient’s families can always get in contact with us.

There are emails, face to face contact, and phone

If the nurse comes off as bitter, detached or nonchalant the relationship suddenly gets more complicated in further care.(14) Being involved as for the child as related
When I began sitting on the front porch of Stout I was really hoping to see the sunset, however, I quickly realized this wasn’t going to happen for two reasons. For one, I was facing the wrong way and secondly I started observing a few minutes too soon. I was expecting to hear a quite a few animals and birds outside but nothing much other than that. I also was excited to see whether or not I would be able to taste anything during my observations. I expected to see many students walking back and forth along the walkways and to see some cars driving by. As for touch, I wasn’t really sure how I was going to go about experiencing a touch, and I figured I would settle for touching whatever object I was sitting on. Also because it had just rained
I chose the This I Believe essay The Power of Human Touch. The essay is written by a healthcare worker in India who believes that simply touching a shoulder and reassuring a patient can make a huge difference in their recovery and healing process.

Therefore sufficient evidence can be analysed from the graph to support the statement that, the build-up of lactic acid affects the performance of the player, limiting their capabilities. Recovery time is needed to compensate for the lactic acid build up; which is the result of fatigue.
