The assignment shows why different agencies are crucial in the care of service consumers, and it
would examine organisations responsible for particular healthcare needs in my case studies. It would
also go over how multi-agency and multidisciplinary teams collaborate to give coordinated support
to the people in my case studies, as well as the working procedures employed to protect
confidentiality when providing tailored care. The assignment emphasises the value of sharing
knowledge with co-workers, other professionals, service users, and family members. Finally, it would
analyse the benefits of multidisciplinary and multi-agency collaboration for specific individuals with
care and support requirements, as well as legislation and codes of practise relevant to information
management in multidisciplinary collaboration. The project will culminate in a critical assessment of
how multi-agency and interdisciplinary collaboration might meet the care and support needs of
specific persons.
Clinical Commissioning Groups in England
Clinical commissioning groups were created in 2013 by the NHS to help assess the needs of a
particular area and are overseen by NHS England. Furthermore, CCG’s commission most of the
hospitals and community health services in the area. The clinical commissioning groups consists of
healthcare professionals such as general practitioners and practice nurses. Tremayne could use the
clinical commissioning groups to aid him in his care because it will allow him to have access to
counselling for his outbursts of anger.
Local Authority
Local authorities commission social services to achieve personalised, community-based support that
promotes health and wellbeing [1]. They work in partnership with other organisations, such as the
housing association.
Health and Wellbeing Boards
Health and social care boards were introduced by the Health and Social Care Act 2012 to try and
integrate the public services for health and social care. They assess the needs of the local area, try to
reduce inequalities and set out strategies and approaches for the local authorities
Common Assessment Framework, National Eligibility Criteria, Department of Health, National
Framework for NHS
The common assessment framework (CAF) is a tool for identifying and addressing unmet needs in
children. The CAF is used by an assessor to work with the child and their parents or carers to identify
problems and establish an action plan to provide the best possible help. Children and young people
who are facing obstacles that are keeping them from growing up healthy and happy are protected
using the standard evaluation methodology. If a child is not getting the greatest results, such as
falling behind in school, the standard assessment framework can be used to highlight issues and find
solutions. National qualifying criteria apply to adult care and assistance, as well as caregiver support.
All municipal governments must, at the absolute least, address these needs. The threshold is
calculated by determining how an individual's needs influence their ability to achieve relevant
desired objectives, and whether or not this has a significant impact on their overall well-being. The
Department of Health and Social Care is the UK government department responsible for health and
adult social care policy in England, as well as a few other subjects not delegated to the Scottish,
Welsh, or Northern Ireland Executives. Their primary purpose is to improve healthcare outcomes by

improving the way it is delivered. The purpose of the National Framework is to establish clear rules
and methods for evaluating CHC eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Finally, these frameworks
for assessment and eligibility review health care and aim to improve and give the best care possible.

The Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
An EHCP plan is for young people and children, up to the age of 25. It is for people who require more
support for their special educational needs than what is already available to them. The plan can be
requested by a carer, school teacher, GP or nursery worker. The local authority carries out an
assessment if a child is thought to need an EHCP plan.
Multi-disciplinary teams
A multi-disciplinary team is a team formed of professionals from within the same service who have
different roles. They work as a team to support those facing complex situations, allowing the
individual to get better care and services from the provider. When working together, the
professionals have to be aware of potential conflicts that may arise, whether that be from other
professional or the patient's family. When dealing with these conflicts, the team must ensure that
the patient's wishes and best interests are their main priority.
Healthcare Professionals
A range of healthcare professionals are used within a multi-disciplinary team, depending on the
patients' personal needs. A GP may be part of the team because they are the first contact point with
the NHS, which means they will do the initial analysis of the patient and will then diagnose them.
This allows the GP to then choose a course of action that will be appropriate and effective. GP’s also
have their own set of responsibilities which are, maintaining the health of the patients through
health promotion. They also can help those with chronic conditions with any difficulties they may
face and lastly, they help their patients to access secondary care services.
Nurses provide care to the patients while they’re in hospital and are on hand to help 24 hours a day.
They also can provide emotional support for the patients during their stay, as well as the patients
family. Nurses also have set responsibilities which are helping patients, whether this be
administering drugs to them, providing health promotion or communicating with doctors.
Paediatricians manage any conditions that effect babies and children. They help to provide health
maintenance to children who are already healthy and they provide care to ill children (both acutely
and chronically). They have the responsibility of reducing the mortality rate in children and infants,
as well as controlling infectious diseases. They also help families with children to adopt healthier
lifestyles and help easy difficulties that chronically ill children face.
Clinical psychologists help to reduce any psychological distress that the patient is facing, as well as
promoting psychological wellbeing for others. They use psychological methods to help make positive
change in their clients lives and to help them live an easier day to day life. As well as providing
treatment for a plethora of different mental and physical health issues.
Social Care Professionals
