Armstrong (2006) explains that paraphrasing transpires when the counsellor (or a health practitioner, as in the above case study) reflects back to the client what they have just said, without parroting or changing the meaning of their words. This skill, continues Armstrong (2006), is a feeding back of the essence of what the client has said, in an attempt to gain greater accuracy in discernment. Referring to the aforementioned case study, the Health Practitioner utilised this micro skill following Ally’s opening sentence: Ally: I’m not following my stress management homework …yeah… well, there you go. My Mum is demanding Health practitioner: So you wanted to have your home set up and some extra sessions done, but, well, life intervened.
Introduction This paper will use a case study to look at the importance of patient focused practice, with reference to an elderly patient with other care responsibilities. It will also look at its relevance to interprofessional learning and working within the role of the radiographer and two other healthcare professionals. The need to apply this knowledge is shown by examples of failures, due the lack of engagement, commitment and understanding of the multidisciplinary team to provide good clinical care as shown by the enquiry into the Mid-Staffordshire Hospital between 2005 and 2009 (Slatyer et al., 2016 pp140).

With the increase in PA’s and improved technology, more education may be needed for the most efficient medical care to be achieved. Education will constantly be changing as society changes as a whole, so it is only natural for the newly developed PA program to change as well. Since the program only started out as a two-year degree for experienced corpsmen, more education would be needed for students with no experience in the medical field. Being the creator of the program Dr. Eugene Stead saw that a bachelor’s degree would best fit the program. Stead stated that a need for a more complex program is needed for quality PA’s, “specialization is necessary and will continue”3; today physician assistants can obtain a master’s degree for the program.

In regards to Paraphrasing, is the reflection of the content and thoughts of the client’s messages. It’s a nonjudgmental way, an accurate understanding of the client’s communication and the implied meaning of that communication. A reflecting skill used to convey empathetic understanding and the clarity of the client’s problem (Ivey & Ivey, 2007). As a counselor, I would state: Mike do you understands why your wife feels the way she does and vice versa? You can
