Task 1
1.1 Discussing philosophies in working in the health and social care
Partnership working is referred to be a key element in health and care sector where it depicts some well-known concepts of consultation, sharing power and operating jointly in collaboration. All of these aspects are required to be used with a foremost concern of provisioning effective services to the users. Although, people working in HSC are responsible to carry out a duty-bound service which is important for recognizing the importance of encouraging a sense of autonomy in the individuals. As a result, to which, they are responsible for being cautious towards their job roles by together relating it to other areas. It is with a specific concern of people operating in a similar sector with distinct set of responsibilities and a distinct different section of HSC that includes not only the nurses but other associated professional bodies, such as doctors, physicians, psychiatrists and other medical practitioners, etc.
This urges the need of working in collaboration to provide the services to the users in the best possible manner. It is also on considering the given case scenario in which, there exists an urging demand for NHS to work in partnership with better commissioning of their presently arranged services (Maller, 2015). This also needs a reorganisation of their current adopted structure with another consideration of developing a mutual relationship to support one other and work in a collaborative manner. There together exists another foremost requirement of addressing an imbalanced state of work that is prevailing in the organisation with a key agreement of partnership with the patients. However, choice of patients is not only an elementary reflection of good practice but also depicts a governmental policy and needs to be abided by NHS.
Beside this, there together exists several number of reasons for which, it is important for an HSC to work in partnership with a relevant philosophy of it. This involves the achievement of their ultimate goal that is to provide effective health related services to the users as per their distinct needs and requirements. Another is equity that is based on justice and impartiality with 2 other parameters of efficiency and quality. It together involves an instrumental goal of maintaining a smooth and effective collaborative relationship among the users. It can be done by considering to resolve the concerning ethical issues by judging effectively between right and wrong. Also, resolving daily problems like respecting people by treating them impartially and with dignity is required. Both of these concerns can be addressed by using some suitable theories of philosophies that will also assist in supporting the choices made by the patients. The theories are Deontology and Utilitarianism which can be applied to the health and social care.
Deontology theory is concerned with moral duty that is required to be provide by the NHS trust. This means that health and social care is obliged to perform duty in order to impart better and effective services to patients. The theory clearly indicates that health and social is binded to provide quality services to the patients (Rao and Clarke, 2017).
Utilitarianism theory states that best action is that which increases utility. Moreover, health and social care is required to provide quality services and as such, patients may be treated with much ease. This theory is based on consequences of actions while selecting one policy over the other one. Thus, adequate services may be provided to patients that is the main concern of working in partnership and as such, work with proper collaboration in effective manner.
