The Development of Social and Healthcare Systems in the UK

This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.

This assignment will be describing the structures of health and social care within the British Welfare state. This includes looking at the roles of different sectors, agencies, professions and the distinction between health and social care.

Lastly, it will compare structures and contexts of health and social care within two nations of the United Kingdom.

The National Health System began in 1948 with the aim to provide free health care for the English thus removing health access inequities.

In recent years, the number of people who live in nursing homes in England, Wales and Scotland has been increasing. Some people believe that the family should pay for the care of nursing homes. However, I argue that the government should take responsibility for the cost. The first reason is that some people are too old to pay for the care of other family members and the second reason is that some families cannot afford to pay for the care.

In this report I will be investigating how care services meet the needs of individuals by firstly analysing the needs of an individual using care services. Then I will go on to explain the roles of the care planning process in identifying needs, and explain the features of a positive care practise. After explaining that, I will analysis positive care environments and evaluate how they meet needs before finally explaining the role of legislation in promoting a positive care environment.

Taking care of the individuals that are getting older takes many different needs. Most of these needs cannot be given from the help of a family. This causes the need of having to put your love one into a home and causing for the worry of how they will be treated. It is important for the family and also the soon to be client to feel at home in their new environment. This has been an issue with the care being provided for each individual, which has lead to the need of making sure individuals have their own health care plan.

The Health and Social Care Act 2012 came into force with crucial principles including new structures and arrangements in health care services to safeguard and strengthen the future of NHS and maintain the modernisation plan. In this Act, many new changes has been made to a number of existing Acts, National Health Services Act (NHS 2006), in order to enable health care system to tackle the existing challenges and also avoid any potential crisis in future. It has also introduced the proper allocation of NHS fund and budget, and improved the integrated care between NHS and social care services to promote patients’ choice in terms of delivering quality care.

This assignment will discuss the core values that underpin social and health service delivery and will compare the current health service provision with health care services at the inception of the NHS. The NHS has seven core values that aim to ensure that quality care is delivered to everyone regardless of their gender, religion, race, age, wealth or sexual orientation. These values have been developed by the general public, patients and staff, with local authorities having to develop and adapt these to provide personalised care. These values not only underpin the social and health delivery service, but also influence the legislation regarding care. For example the Care Act 2014 looks at integrating care, involving the patient and carer

It is there so that we can grow older and maintain our health, wellbeing and independence for as long as possible and to receive seamless, prompt and quality support and treatment when required. The service exists because they saw the need to improve. In the 2001 census, the older people were, the more likely they were to have a limiting long term illness as it increases markedly with age. Older people had higher tendency to rate their health as ‘not good’ and half of the people claiming to have a limiting long term illness described their health as ‘not good’. The framework hopes to improve services to improve health and to detect possible health problems so they can be tackled quickly to minimise negative effect on health.

This unit develops understanding of the values and principles that underpin the practice of all those who work in health and social care.

This paper outlines the differences between the healthcare systems of the United States and the United Kingdom and expands on what that means for the health and wealth of the citizens of these countries. The U.S. and the U.K. are two different countries with two very different healthcare systems. The U.S. healthcare system is the Affordable Care Act, (ACA) and is the attempt by the U.S. to provide affordable healthcare coverage. he U.K. healthcare system is publicly financed and managed by the National Health Service, (NHS). The U.S. healthcare system is largely private sector whereas the healthcare in the U.K. is public. “The U.S. spends more on health care than any other country in the nation while the U.K. is a country that spends

The funding mechanisms for social care services enable service user’s access to a range of services to support themselves in their own homes, institutional care and hospitals. In terms of finances a legislative framework was introduced, resources were transferred from the National Health Service and the Department of Social Security to local authorities, and social work departments were given a key role in the planning, assessment and commissioning of community care services.

Health is the faculty to live a full, functioning and conscious life, which is the result of a composite interaction between our genetic, the atmosphere we live in, and the culture we are a part of. Therefore, healthcare systems are proposed to encounter the healthcare necessities of target populations. In some countries the health care system have grown and have not been planned, whereas in others concentrated struggles have been made by governments, trade unions, donations, religious, or other corresponding figures to distribute scheduled health care to the targeted populations. Every health care system composed of two broad sections; one focused on strategy and organization and the other is the definite medical and or clinical care, which is also divided into primary (community care, practitioners, Dentists, Pharmacists), secondary (Hospital-based care), and tertiary care (specialist hospitals). According to the World Health Organization rankings, France ranks first and the United Kingdom ranks eighteenth amongst a hundred and ninety different countries.

For any successful organization, there should be effective communication, culture, decision-making processes as well as organizational learning just to mention a few. The United Kingdom’s National Health Service is an organization that primarily helps citizens be in charge of their health care. The group started with the principles that quality healthcare should be available to all regardless of their social status, in this event, easy access to health care. NHS has over 64 million people enrolled and deals with over 1 million patients every 36 hours. The organization employs over 1.6 million employees who make it among the world’s top employers together with other organizations such as Wal-Mart, McDonalds, and U.S Department of Defense. The NHS is wholly funded by taxpayer’s money that means that a majority of the public is often interested in what is going on at the NHS. The rationale of this paper, therefore, is to look at four aspects of an organization and specifically the NHS. These aspects are organizational communication, organizational culture, management and leadership as well as organizational change.
