Solicitors (Scotland) (Client Communication) Practice Rules 2005 made it mandatory from the 1st of August 2005 for all solicitors to issue an engagement letter. These rules are now stated in Rule B4 within the Law Society of Scotland Practice Rules 2011 (hereafter, rule B4). Rule B4 provides that upon receiving instructions from a new client, it is mandatory a solicitor to issue the client with an engagement letter at the earliest practicable opportunity. The rule states that this engagement letter effectively forms a contract between the solicitor and the client and the terms of the letter set to govern the solicitor-client relationship.
The engagement letter states that the plaintiff “will prepare or assist in preparing the defendant financial statements, the statements will be the defendants' representations and must accept responsibility for the fairness of such representations.”

“Using an anonymous current client or one you have worked with in the past, apply the methods discussed in this module to their case and discuss what you think could have been achieved.”
My client is a 3-year-old boy that has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Occupation-based problems typically seen in toddlers with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder includes difficulty with dressing, toileting, bathing, self-feeding, socialization, interacting, and make eye contact with adults and other children.
When a therapist honors resistance, it allows the client to have an opportunity to not have to struggle with the feeling of having to do the work alone or of being engulfed with the pain. Sack Lentz (2016) states “as in all successful work with resistance, we can hope to see in our patient’s greater freedom and flexibility” (p. 9). Sophie entered treatment with the belief that therapy did not work and that she did not need it. The therapist allowed her to have this belief, and just encouraged her to keep coming for her evaluation and slowly gained her trust. Once Sophie chooses to stay in therapy, the hard work begins. The therapist begins to use Sophie’s resistance as an indictor that there is a deep wound

If this is the first and only mistake the client has made, and depending on the totality of the circumstances, I do not believe violating the client is necessary. I would ensure the client is documented for their actions and perhaps even have the client write an essay on the dangers of drug use and consequences while on probation or parole. This way, if the behavior continues, I would have a written and signed history of the offense also showing that the client was well aware of the misconduct and the actions that could be taken for any future incidents. Another action I would take, besides regular drug screens, would be to conduct some random tests without any announcement to verify that the client is in fact maintaining his or her court
Therapeutic communication is seen as a complex skill that involves much subtlety and requires a range of different approaches (Jones, 2009). The importance of therapeutic communication and professional relationships with patients as a prime means of attaining healthcare treatment found to be the underlying theme in interpersonal relationships ( Arnold and Boggs, 2011). Therapeutic communication can create a nurse-patient relationship that enhances choice and responsibility, improves patient input and cooperation and thereby maximizes care outcomes (Rosenberg and Gallo-Silver, 2011). By integrating knowledge with compassion, the skill of therapeutic communication is regarded as the nurse’s greatest asset in reducing stresses and establishing a bond (Rosenberg and Gallo-Silver, 2011). Therefore, person-centred communication is regarded as the mandatory fundamentals in health professions (O’Toole, 2012). Attaining person-centred communication is often challenging and it is essentially required in health professions (O’Toole, 2012). One of the important basis for patient-centred communication is the effective listening (O’Toole, 2012). This essay briefly explains the various components of active listening skills that enhance therapeutic communication. Finally this essay concludes with a self-assessment of the current knowledge and skills that the author possess, followed by a development plan that shows the goals and strategies that can be used to improve author’s active
The client has had a strong support system in the past and is open to creating another one. This is strength because it demonstrates that the client is open reaching out to others in times of need and is a resiliency factor.
Chronic pain is best acknowledged by understanding the person and how they live. Client A (as he will be known) lives with pain on a daily basis, as do thousands of people. Currently, Client A is trying to deal with high stress levels and this is affecting his work and personal relationships, as well as life in general. So what is happening to Client A from a biological, physiological and social aspect and how can these changes affect the musculoskeletal system enough to create pain? Client A did not wake up one morning and his pain began. His pain journey is a process of ………changes. began developed needs to begin with confirmation that his pain is real and what he is experiencing is normal but his actual journey is unique to him. As a therapist, it is about recognising specific mechanisms and understanding how they
Within the position I have, A Non-Injury Claims Adjuster, I think that the main thing is being able to listen a communicate all relevant information. Although everyone has different ways in which they communicate, the only correct communication to me is effective communication. Without effective communication, many things can be passed on that are not true or that get twisted in some form of way. Recently, my team had an issue where something was said about vacation days not being available during a certain time of the year and because no one wanted to bring the issue to upper management, the issue was never resolved and at the last minute people were trying to take vacation at the same time. If someone would have brought the issue to upper management and asked for clarification, then the entire problem could have been avoided with the right communication.
Patients in acute care settings are often wholly dependent on the professional care nurses provide to them. Patient safety in intensive care units has long been a topic of interest and is dependent on many factors. Recently, patient safety and outcomes in relation to the staffing of registered nurses (RNs) have been topics of much research to identify how much impact staffing really has on patient outcomes. The overwhelming majority of studies conducted have found that the number of nursing staff providing care is strongly correlated with patient outcomes (Institute of Medicine, 2004).
These should be consistent with the service user’s level of understanding and preferred way of communicating.
Following referral of a confused client for treatment by healthcare professionals, an initial care plan is designed. A care plan is a treatment plan agreed between the confused client and their multidisciplinary team (MDT) to address their mental health issues. It includes an assessment of the client’s health, personal and social care needs ensuring they get the best care. The MDT works with the client to achieve specific goals. The MDT may need to change the care plan depending on client’s state of health (HSE 2016).
