Write about what are the positive aspects of having service users involved in their care/treatment etc. What are the challenges? Could you reflect upon SU involvement in your own practice? What does the literature suggest about SU involvement?
What is interprofessional working? What is collaborative practice? (be careful not to copy what is in the intro) Have you observed it in practice? Could you reflect on an incident whereby interprofessional working and collaborative practice was observed? Why was it successful or a challenge? What was the impact on the service or SU? When you are incorporating reflection’s you can just insert the learning log table if you wish, or you could incorporate a written reflection within the main discussion or you could do a comprehensive reflection put it in the appendices and then critically reflect and appraise the reflection in the main discussion.
Finally you need to conclude this section with how you’ll work collaboratively and interprofessionally in practice and give some examples?
2. Effective Collaboration for Safe & Effective Services
(Module Learning Outcome 2)
Please refer to the Module learning outcomes and what we are looking for on the marking criteria!
Write about what affects effective collaborative practice? What in practice have you observed? Poor or effective collaboration? How is the service/SU impacted? What does the literature suggest can affect effective collaborative practice?
Reflect upon your involvement in collaborative working. Have you worked collaborative with another HCP or service to enhance a SU’s care or experience?
3. Service Environment & Policy Drivers for Collaborative Practice
(Module Learning Outcome 3)
Please refer to the Module learning outcomes and what we are looking for on the marking criteria!
How does the environment you work in impact on your ability to collaborate with other HCP’s? How could this be adapted? How can you overcome barriers to collaborative working? If you are able to collaborate effectively what is it that facilitates this? What does the literature suggest as to how the environment can support effective collaborative working? Do you agree with the literature? Remember you can appraise the literature, so you could use the literature to offer an alternative opinion and critically reflect using your experiences in practice.
How do policy drivers promote collaborative working? Make sure you refer to appropriate policy. Consider utilising policy from the policy folder on BB.
