field. Due to the experience and familiarity with this field, this could then help me get
employment in the health and social care area.
I may be able to obtain experience in this health and social care sector field by enhancing
important abilities like organization and interpersonal skills, which are developed by seeing and
listening to the actions of other staff members and by seeking assistance when necessary.

M1 Analyse how work experience can provide support in gaining a realistic
understanding of the health and social care sector
Because I have dealt with various service users who had various problems that required
care within a real organization in the past like a charity. The health and social care gives
you a practical grasp of what the health and social care sector is. A practical grasp as in
the tasks and responsibilities involve in the role working in an organization like a care
home, hospital, clinic.
And shows that there are training put in place to be taken to continue working in the
health and social care sector.
In some circumstances, I can gain experience working in this prospective field of study
and get a head start on understanding the protocols and rules in the setting, which
would support me when I ultimately enter the real career field. If the person has
experience working in their future career, they will be able to know what duties and
obligations are involved, or they can obtain this information from individuals who have
expertise in the future careers they wish to pursue.
During my job placement, I would pick up new skills that I would need to use to adapt to
various scenarios and that will help would me acquire things like time management
abilities that you may use to your advantage in the near future.
Because I would have experience working in the health and social care sector where
there are policies and procedures. I am now aware that there are similar policies and
procedures in place in every setting that surrounds organizations in the health and
social sector. I also understand why it is crucial to adhere to these policies and
procedures. An example of policies and procedures in a hospital are complaints policy,
and equality act. Similar to a care home, equality act and the care act 2000. Another
example of a policy and procedure in a charity and care home are code of conduct and
staff procedures.
I now understand that I am obligated to abide by them since doing otherwise would
violate the policies of the organization that works in the health and social care sector.
