Working in Partnership in Health and Social Care
Partnership working is vital in order to providing an holistic, person centred and effective care model. It can involve many different branches of health care professionals as well as external providers and involvement from the service user or their family.

This in turn has meant we have now had to adapt and change the way in which services are delivered in order to ensure it is person centred. In the past most care has been prescriptive, this is now being changed so council and the government are working on joint effort to providing care in much more tailored and creative ways.
To work in partnership within health and social care we need to be able to work along side our staff and other health professionals to provide an effective service for residents. We also need to promote an individuals rights, preferences and wishes of what they want and expect to aid them in their daily life choices. All residents are seen as individuals and are encouraged to participate in the decision making of what is needed and wanted in their care, all the information is based on person centred care.
By being involved with other care professionals ( you become a team) the effective planning and
delivering of care services ensures the individual accessing the care is placed at the centre and they will all share the common purpose to improve that individuals life. With different organisations being involved the team will be larger and so there will be more resources available to use and provide the best possible care.
A team is not a bunch of people with job titles, but a congregation of individuals, each of whom has a role which is understood by other members. Members of a team seek out certain roles and they perform most effectively in the ones that are most natural to them....
