One page profiles and action plan. An effective way to identify somebody 's needs and wishes leading to a full and Persian centred action plan is to complete a one page profile with them. One page profile can be developed generally or around a specific area, such as their health, they provide the person and others with an at a glance snapshot of the most important aspects of the person life. You can support a person to put together a one page profile in two ways.

1.1 I communicate with a wide range of groups and individuals on a daily, weekly, and less frequent basis within my role as care home manager. These include other managers, operations manager, managing director and company owners as well as support workers, clients, team leaders, social workers, care managers, families, health and educational professionals, learning disability team members from 6 different boroughs etc.

A range of factors can impact individuals with sensory loss, such as blind or partly sighted individuals struggle to read peoples facial expressions, which are important for communication. Also not realizing someone is talking to an individual if they are walking past or stood behind them can be frustrating. Written communication can also be problematic for partly sighted individuals. Larger font may help overcome these issues. People who are hard of hearing can also become frustrated as they can’t hear day to day noises such as the doorbell, telephone ring or people talking to them directly. This may make them feel with drawn from others and lonely.

Since Norovirus is so easily spread, it is important for the CCA worker to take extra precautions when the infection is in a long term care home or home support setting. As usual, the workers should continue proper hand and body hygiene. This is the utmost important thing when preventing the spread of infection. It is also important to take special care in the kitchen when preparing the food for the clients when Norovirus is present in the facility as this is where the virus is often spread. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, “People infected with a norovirus can be contagious from the moment they start feeling ill to at least three days after they have recovered. Some people may be contagious for as long as two weeks after recovery. “. It is important to keeping this in mind when preventing the spread of infection in a long term care facility. (Public Health Agency of Canada, 2014) Keeping regular cleanliness habits like sanitizing surfaces and using

Assess strategies and methods used to minimise the harm to children, young people and their families where abuse is confirmed (M3). Justify responses where child maltreatment or abuse id suspected or confirmed, referring to current legislation and policies (D2)

Selling of council houses is becoming an increasing issue in the UK as people and even businesses are buying the house out. This means hundreds of family homes are now owned by private landlords or individual people. As a consequence, families are finding it difficult to find family-homes to live in.

In addition, risk assessments should be undertaken for example; each person who has a catheter; PEG feed; pressure sore; or other factor which makes them more susceptible to the risk of infection. Ultimately anyone within the home who can cause infection are subject to risk assessment under the COSHH Regulations and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulation 1992. It is important that infected residents are isolated and infected staff excluded from work, until 48 hours after the symptoms have settled. Management of cases should be planned following a risk assessment, which should consider continence, personal hygiene, overall health, likelihood of physical contact with other residents or their food, the facilities available and the vulnerability of other residents. The local HPU can advise on this process. Infected residents should, if possible, have sole use of a designated toilet or commode as long as their symptoms persist. In the case of a likely norovirus infection, they should keep a designated toilet facility for 48 hours after their symptoms have settled.

You have been given the job of producing a prospectus into the work of a science technician focussing on methods of communication in the workplace and reasons why communication is important.

The four types of distortion are: shape, distance, relative size, and direction. Shape is the way a country looks, distance is the space between countries, relative size how big or small a country is based on its relation to other countries, and direction is the location of one place related to the meridians/parallels or to another country.

In terms of choosing my sampling method, I chose quota sampling. This is because we chose to survey 30 people in total but divide the group into genders; males and females. Therefore; 15 males and 15 females were surveyed. This was an important sampling method to choose because it was quite accurate. It was less biased as we decided to interview both genders, leading to varied results for our market research team. We also chose to have quota sampling, because it was the most efficient sampling method which gave us the most accurate information we set out to find. I feel it was important to have more than one division; that being males and females. This is purely because males and females have much diverse views and opinions and also priorities such as; males being more interested in booking rooms and assessing the online services, where the females would also enjoy the online services, but would show more interest in the facilities available, therefore it was quite key to find out how each gender progressed through the surveys. I feel that quota sampling is much more accurate than other sampling methods such as random sampling. This is because random sampling will leave the researchers with a range of results, which will be harder to compare or formulate decisions

There are no specific treatments for the norovirus. If contracting the virus, dehydration could be a major cause for concern. Therefore, it is necessary to stay hydrated when infected in order to prevent dehydration. It is important to use proper hygiene practices in order to prevent contracting the virus. Hands should be washed thoroughly after using the toilet, changing diapers, and before eating, preparing, or handling food. It is important to wash fruits and vegetables before consuming. Also, seafood should be cooked thoroughly. The virus can withstand temperatures as high as 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the virus can survive through quick steaming processes that are used to cook shellfish. If a person is infected with the virus, they should not prepare food or care for

This paper presents the principles of infection control and management of Norovirus outbreak in an aged-care facility. Firstly, a scenario of the case is provided. Also, a brief description of Norovirus and the current trend in Australia is illustrated. It is followed by the three important issues to be addressed relevant to the case: (1) transmission of Norovirus in a nursing home, (2) important precautions to limit the spread of the infection, and (3) special nursing requirements of the elderly patients. In order to manage the outbreak effectively, this paper will assert the importance of rapid detection of outbreak and implementation of good infection control protocol. Furthermore, this paper will also promote the quality of residents

During the fall of 2008, three outbreaks of norovirus on college campuses in California, Michigan, and Wisconsin were reported to the CDC (Roberts, et al., 2015). Based on the approximately one-thousand reported cases, including ten hospitalizations, and closure of one of the campuses, public health investigations were led by the respective states and local health departments to characterize the extent of the outbreaks and implement control measures (Roberts, et al., 2015).

Since the investigation occurred on three different college campuses across the country there will be three different investigations discussed. It was determined that this outbreak of the norovirus was definitely not linked and often experienced different modes of transmission. In addition there are 4 limits to the investigation which include the lack analytics conducted on two of the three college campuses; a single efficacy could not be identified; there was a low rate of self-reporting therefore the number of cases and attacks rates are not as accurate; and there was no single case definition used to identify patients during outbreak.
