My Course in Health and Social Care NVQ Level 3
As for me, it is indeed essential to take up Health and Social Care course the reason why I insisted taking it, although my manager and 2 of my senior colleagues were reluctant to give me encouragement, support and assurance. However, my manager was convinced by my persistent demand and she is fully aware that it is the company’s legal requirement. She did ask an instant request to the company’s area manager and it was approved on June 2006.
My NVQ course started on the 28th of June ‘06 and the meeting is being held in the office. I met my Assessor ( instructor) on that very day and right away she gave me important points to be undertaken during the 6 months period. She said, I have to finish my 8 units course on Health and Social care until March 2007. I said to her that it is a great opportunity on my part. To assure her, I claimed I’m doing the best that I can.
The following statements are my reasons why I am persistent to take the course: First, professionally, I want to keep my qualification as a registered Social Worker here in UK. Secondly, to meet company’s goals standards. Thirdly, to adhere to care standard guidelines of the organization.
My personal purpose is that, I want to be more competent in dealing with difficult situations in my place of work. Dealing with those clients with challenging behaviour and mental health issues. Those clients with violent and aggressive behaviour. As a keyworker of one of the clients there, I’ve got no problem with her regarding those behaviour. My client was the most behave, very sweet, so cooperative and very active. Sometimes she also became aggitated but I could easily managed to handle it. The problem lies with some behaviour of her co-tenants in the house. There are 5 tenants in the house and 2 of them more often than not got involved in a violent and aggresive incidents.
Apparently, the purpose of the course does not intirely focus on that, but it covers wider range of spectrum in health and social care. It covers everything about client’s person centered planning, target ambitions, 3 monthly reviews and 6 monthly reviews and evaluation, supervision of staff team, management of the house and medication administration.
