Essay Complex Environments in Health and Social Care – Health Assignment Help

Assignment Task

 

Module Aims    
The aim of the module is to develop students who can critically analyse challenging and complex environments and situations in practice in order to build resilience and promote positive change.

This module continues to build upon level four and five learning, preparing the students to work collaboratively as professionally accountable practitioners within complex and evolving environments of health and social care. The students will be expected to demonstrate the application of learning within the practice setting.

Learning Outcomes
    
By the end of this module students should be able to:

1.    Critically analyse the constituents of complex environments in health and social care.
2.    Critically analyse the significance of competing agendas and motives in maintaining collaborative relationships
3.    Appraise and manage with support the challenges involved in maintaining a person centred perspective when working with service users and carers in complex environments.
4.    Through critical reflection, synthesise learning to suggest ways in which they may promote and support person centred collaborative practice in the future

Indicative Module Content    
This module will build on the theory introduced in previous levels related to working with others.  Students will be expected to engage critically with this to explore the impact of diverse organisational agendas and professional perspectives upon person centred practice and partnership working.  Students will explore and analyse issues related to emerging health and social care agendas and policies, managing diversity, partnership with service users, carers and colleagues. Theories of discrimination, stereotyping, power and control will be explored to deepen their understanding of the challenges involved when trying to remain person-centred.

This module will include developing how the learning from this programme will inform the potential for maintaining collaborative relationships.

Learning and Teaching Strategies

This module will use a ‘flipped-classroom’ approach to learning and teaching.  Students will work in small collaborative groups to explore and analyse triggers related to module content enabling them to learn both with and from each other and their individual experiences.  Some theory may be delivered face-to-face but it is more likely that on-line and pre-set learning/activities will be used to this end. Students will come together in larger seminars on a regular basis to discuss and question learning with facilitation from module tutors. There will be the opportunity for students to work with those of other professional programmes in order to discuss the variety of agendas and motivations that can challenge working with others.  Alongside this, students will adopt a solutions-focused approach to managing such complexity. In the assessment, Students will be required to complete 3 patches.  They will draw on their experiences of practice in order to show integration with theory.
