UNIT 5 MEETING INDIVIDIDUAL CARE AND SUPPORT NEEDS
Assignment title: Providing support for individuals in the community
In this report I will be covering the aspects of providing support for individuals in the community and
applying my knowledge to the case studies. I will be explaining the different roles of healthcare
workers and professionals, how different organisations and agencies work together and maintain
confidentiality with the case studies and support individuals in the community.
Justify how organisations and professionals work together to meet individual needs while
managing information and maintaining confidentiality.
Organisation and professionals work together in order to meet individual needs and requirements
while focussing on managing any information and maintaining confidentiality. professionals work
together to meet individual needs, while performing this role together, they must understand and
remind themselves of the maintenance of managing any of the service users information and
successfully maintain confidentiality. The role of organisations and there responsibilities for
commissioning healthcare services is vital in caring for individuals and meeting their needs. Clinical
Commissioning Groups in England, also known as CCG’s) are delegated commissioning
responsibilities for GP services and assess the health needs of the area and tend to commission most
NHS hospital services. Members include health professionals who work on a local level. Local health
boards in Wales redesign the delivery of the NHS to improve health outcomes for individuals and
have a strong emphasis on public health and wellbeing. Members include GP’s and other healthcare
professionals and use long-term planning. Local health boards in Wales deliver primary care, hospital
and community health services. Health and Social care board in Northern Ireland strives towards
effective commissioning groups and health & social care trusts. Members often consist of health &
social care professionals. Formation is developing or the action of forming (n.d) Definitions from
Oxford Languages. An organisation role or member is a group of individuals with a specific purpose,
roles or members (n.d) Definitions from Oxford Languages.
Roles of organisations and the responsibility to commission healthcare services links with our case
studies. In section one, Patrick would need to have his health and wellbeing commissioned to decide
on the services he would need to make sure he was receiving effective care. Jeff demonstrates this
when he arranged a consultation with the sexual health adviser, Simon, for Patrick to receive
effective and personal care for his needs. In section two, a formation of groups and roles come
together to provide for Brenda and her needs. This is demonstrated in providing a role of a health
visitor to Brenda who will take responsibility for Brenda’s health physically. As well as this, Brenda is
provided a GP who will take care of Brenda in the role of taking care of her physical issues with her
asthma. In section three, Alice is provided with a GP who has the role of helping Alice by providing
blood samples to monitor Alice’s liver health as well as a nutritionist who has a separate role of
health, being which, assisting Alice in her nutrition & diet.
Organisations have a role for commissioning social care services as well as healthcare services. This is
to achieve personalised and community based support in order to promote positive health and
wellbeing, usually by providing evidence and resources collected. These authorities work with a vast
number of organisations in order to work in a close partnership with organisations such as the NHS
, & housing. This shows clear signs of healthcare services working together to meet individual needs
while managing information and maintaining confidentiality.
Organisations responsibility for commissioning appropriate social care services is shown in the case
studies. In case study one, Jeff demonstrates commissioning social care services when he arranged a
consultation with the sexual health adviser, Simon, who works at the service in the local community
in order to meet Patrick’s needs and effectively refer him to the local and appropriate service. In
section two, Brenda’s team consists of appropriate social care services commissions, providing her
with a community psychiatric nurse who will be specialised in mental health illness & conditions,
helping aid Brenda in her mental ill health. As well as this, Brenda’s sheltered accommodation, which
is an organisation, commissioned Brenda to attend a life skills class at the centre she lives in which is
local and appropriate for aiding Brenda’s health. In section three, organisations take hold of the
responsibility of commissioning appropriate social care service for Alice’s health and wellbeing. This
is demonstrated in Alice’s GP referring Alice to a specialist consultant at the nearest and local NHS
Trust and arranged transportation for her in order to meet Alice’s needs, to receive aiding on her
liver & further examinations, therefore, giving effective care by working together to meet Brenda’s
needs while managing information and maintaining confidentiality.
There is a role of bodies whom are responsible for integrating health and social care, for example
the Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWB). These boards are made up of key pioneers from the HSC
system. HWB's rely upon building connections and solid communication to make progress. They
formulate local key pioneers together to share and communicate thoughts to connect between local
services. In all case studies, one, two and three, the local area would involve the HWB’s in order for
local priorities such as alcohol abuse in one local area and to accumulate examples of good practice
and reports in order to share information.
Assessment frameworks help integrate health and social care, in which, promotes meeting
individuals needs, working together, building a strong relationship & communication. When a
framework contains ways where needs are needed to be assessed and the eligibility to have these
needs met appropriately are in fact identified, these are referred to as eligibility frameworks.
Assessment frameworks are ways in which to assess needs, such as, using the Care Act 2014,
Department of health, Common assessment framework, Department of Health, National Framework
for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Assessment frameworks help benefit individuals as the use of the
framework avoids any historical issues with working to meet peoples needs such as story repetition.
Assessment frameworks are used in the case studies provided, such as, in case study three, Alice’s
care uses assessment frameworks to have a greater emphasis on the prevention and early
intervention on the care and support needs of Alice, this is shown by her being provided a variety of
professionals in order to help benefit and monitor Alice’s progress & wellbeing from seeing the
specialists looking after her, and to prevent any relapse or deterioration of her mental or physical
wellbeing and working together to meet Alice’s needs while managing her information and
maintaining confidentiality.
In section two, Brenda may not have been provided with an appropriate framework as she came
across having to tackle a historical issue when she had to repeat her story of her experience of being
abused by a male relative in her youth, needing to explain this to the team which could provoke
