ln this part of the assignment i will be explaining the requirements for two different careers in a health
sector.

Child and adolescent psychotherapists - A Child and adolescent psychotherapists are skilled in the
assessment and treatment of children and young people, and are trained to carefully observe them and
respond to what they might be communicating through their behaviour and play(child and adolescent
psychotherapy). Younger children, for example, may play with the toys provided or draw, whilst
teenagers might talk about their feelings. Infants and parents are seen together so that their patterns of
interaction can be considered. Play is a powerful form of communication, which may express how
children feel and the difficulties they may be experiencing. Commuinication is important because it gives
directions on what type of treatment is required. Becoming a child and adolescent psychotherapist
requires you going training at The Association of Child Psychotherapists (ACP). You'll need an honours
degree (or equivalent) and substantial experience of working with children and adolescents to get a
place. This experience can be from a range of settings, including social care, health and education.
lncluding 5 gcse's and at college it is required to study biology and pychology. Skills needed to become a
child and adolescent psychotherapist includes ; a keen awareness of people and their behaviour ,a
capacity for study and continued learning , the ability to relate to a wide range of people , excellent
communication skills, the ability to work on your own as well as in consultation with others , a
responsible, professional approach, respecting the confidentiality of patients and also emotional
resilience and maturity.
Physiotherapist - Physiotherapists consider the body as a whole, rather than just focusing on the
individual aspects of an injury or illness (NHS).Some of the main approaches used by physiotherapists
include: education and advice – physiotherapists can give general advice about things that can affect
your daily lives, such as posture and correct lifting or carrying techniques to help prevent injuries ,
movement, tailored exercise and physical activity advice – exercises may be recommended to improve
your general health and mobility, and to strengthen specific parts of your body and manual therapy –
where the physiotherapist uses their hands to help relieve pain and stiffness, and to encourage better
movement of the body. To get onto a physiotherapy degree course you usually need two or three A
levels, including a biological science and/or PE, along with five GCSEs (grades A-C), including English
language, maths and at least one science.

P2(U18 ) - Outline the overall structure of health service provision in home county.

Structure of the NHS

The NHS provides healthcare services to more than one million patients every 36 hours, and the vast
majority of these services are free at the point of use for UK residents. Many people think that the NHS
is a single organisation with a central recruiting team, however this is not the case. The NHS is actually
made up of multiple organisations, with each individual organisation having its own recruitment team
and list of vacancies.The structure of these NHS organisations varies slightly between the four UK
nations, which is explained in more detail on the Health Careers website. In England, the organisations
making up the NHS include:

.National bodies that oversee and regulate NHS services

.Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) that plan and commission care for local populations

.Healthcare provider organisations

.Primary care organisations – independent businesses offering NHS services, including GP practices,
dental practices, opticians.

.Acute (hospital) trusts – providers of hospital-based NHS services

.Mental health trusts – organisations which offer mental health and social care services

.Community trusts – providers of community-based services, such as district nursing, physiotherapy and
speech and language therapy

.Ambulance trusts – organisations which offer NHS transportation services emergency and non-
emergency care

.Charities and social enterprises – organisations which provide support services to the NHS.
M1(U18)- Assess how a health worker can contribute to providing a positive experience for users of
health services.

Good training can help provide a positive experience for the patient or co workers while they are in
need. Without training many things can go wrong and this can provide a negative experience for the
patients and clients and situations can sometimes lead to death. Good training you will gain much more
confidence which will help you to do your job more effectively because you as an individual will be able
to know what you are doing which brings confidence thayt will give your clients and patients much more
reassurance and comfort and they will feel at much more at ease with you and with the whole process
and environment. Futhermore , effective training can mean less mistakes. Being a hospital play worker
means when you’re with a child you are responsible for him or her. It also means that you will be
working with ill children and therefore they could fall seriously ill at any given time so you should always
be aware and cautious of this. Without the required training, if a child falls seriously ill you wouldn’t
know what to do in this difficult situation and you could be potentially putting their life on the line or
being a health visitor you may visit a family who need help as their baby isn’t feeding and if you don’t
have the specific training in how to manage this then this could make the baby suffer. You may do an
extra training course on how to communicate effectively and how to overcome barriers of
communication; this is important when it comes to working in the health sector because without good
communication many things can go wrong and many mistakes can be made which aren’t necessary.
Moreover , Respecting the privacy of a service user is very important because it shows independence
and sometimes not eveyone wants people around them , but privacy should be given when a patient is
in a safe environment and is mentally stabled this could involve pulling the curtain around the individual
whilst they are getting changed or putting a towel on them if/when they are having a bed bath. This will
help the service user to feel that they have been respected and valued by the service provider. While on
the other hand privacy can be violated sometimes due to the mindset of some health care providers
thinking they know best instead of asking an individuals what is best for them for example a patient
might need to use the rest room and the health care provider follows them into the toilet instead of
waiting outside this is a violation because every individual has the right to use the rest room without
anyone being there unless they need physical health.

D(U18) - Evaluate the requirements of healthcare workers in relation to the provision of a competent
workforce for the health sector.
P1(U9) - Explain how the application of relevant principles and values will enable professionals to
provide holistic support for individuals who use social services .

Empowerment of individuals.

Empwerment is when you are giving vulnerable people the right to make their own choices regarding
their care plan . Empowerment is when you ensure that no decisions are made behind their back and
they make sure that patients are given their knowledge to make chices and decisions that are going to be
in their best interest. However , patients care providers will step in if a patient lacks mental capacity to
decide fr themselves an example of this would be patient suffering with a severe disability or mental
health disorders(NHS). This allows the prfessionals to provide holistic support by ensuring that care
providers are always thinking about patients all around care and are giving the best are and free choice.
In this situation situation holistic support is made by considering the patients physical and emotional
needs as they are looking at what makes the patient happy and als what aditional needs they have and
how it affects them.

Promotion of choice .

promotion of choice is when patients have the freedom to make certain decisions about their care and
treatment given by their doctor . Examples of these choices would be choosing which residential home
they want to go to if its required . this enables professionals to provide holistic support by looking at the
patients emltional needs and what makes thme feel comfortable and frredom of choice when it comes
to making decisions on when is best to have their treatments done , if their emotions are considered
then they would feel valued and very happy in the long term to get their treatment.

Promotion of rights .

Promotion is when care you ensure that patients are treated fiarly and equally by care providers and
staff and can promoted by making sure patients are giving basic human rights diespite the colour of their
skin such as the rights to eat , water , shelter and the right to be respected as a human being . This
enables ptofessionals to provide hoslistic support by giving patients these basic
