3. Our philosophy of care…
In your induction packs, read through the ‘philosophy of care’ section.
Answer the following question:
As a healthcare professional, which parts of this philosophy stand out to you most and why?

4. Our service users
The people you will be working with have a variety of specific needs.
First of all, we want you to be able to identify what their specific needs might be, so that you can begin to determine how you can best support them.
There are 5 main ‘groups’ of people with specific needs that you will meet whilst you are here.

5. 1. Physical and mental ill health
When supporting people with physical and mental ill health, a multi-disciplinary approach is usual practice.
Care professionals aim to take a holistic approach to meet the needs of the whole person.
People with mental health problems often have associated physical ill health.
Questioning –
AO1 - What is meant by a multi-disciplinary team?
AO1 - Why might a multi-disciplinary approach be important?
AO1 / AO4 - What is meant by a holistic approach? Can you apply this to a specific need to give an example?
AO2 - What types of mental health problems can lead to physical ill health? What about vice versa?
AO3 - Are there any issues with identifying and monitoring mental ill health? Why? – Looking for answers such as people not reporting / seeking help, people not regarding themselves as ill, acceptable behaviour expectations varying from one culture to another, mental illness being difficult to define.
Task!
Considering the above, answer the questions in your workbook on page 7.
Think higher…
Are there any issues with identifying and monitoring mental ill health? Why?
