Conclusions |
A summary of the findings |
A number of care packages to reduce emergency admissions via A & E of older people living with COPD are in use by community nurses. Evidence for their effectiveness is variable and currently the extent to which they are being used consistently across the UK is unknown |
Avoid restating the points already mentioned. |

Implications |
display understanding of implications |
There is a risk that the imperative to reduce admissions in this age group results in execution of either ineffective or poorly understood interventions. |

Requires further research/unresolved issues |
suggestions for next phase |
A planned national roll out of interventions with the strongest evidence base would allow for evaluation. Early involvement of community nursing organisations in this process may help avoid some of the challenges that seem to have prevented successful management of COPD patients in the community to date. |
‘hedging’ language is important |

MAIN BODY
Team work and Multi professional team work
Team is a group of the individual with the same interest come together to carry out the further operation of business together (Prosser, 2016). Work done by all member together in the team is known as team work. In simple words team work is defined as efforts which are undertaken by each team member of team to achieve the objective of team. In the team work every member of team has to contribute toward accomplishing objective of team by completing different task allocated to them (Osland Ehret and Ruiz, 2017). Individual intelligence or effort of the member does not count in team work, as team work is the combination of efforts of different member of team. When its come on looking at team work in an organization of health care industry, Multi-professional teamwork is commonly found. This type of team includes the member of the different disciplines (example. Psychiatrists, social worker) who used to provide specific sort of service of their field to the patient in Hospital. The co-ordination which took place between the different professional of different discipline to achieve the objective of the team is defined as a Multi-professional team work (Clarke and Dempster, 2016). On the basis of the teamwork perform in an organization, teams are always classified on the basis of two i.e. effective and ineffective team. Team which helps an organization in improving quality and provide the base to stand in front of other in market is defined as an effective team. On the same point team which is conflict-ridden and does not have clarity of thought in activity perform is defined as an ineffective team (Lega, Prenestini and Rosso, 2017).
Important of Multi professional team work
Multi-professional team work used to bring the variety of the benefit for the health organization in treating and providing the best available treatment to patient in the hospital (Finger, 2018). The reason behind the same is that Multi-professional team used to resolve variety of fragmentation issue in the different field and function of an organization (Aylott and et.al.,2018). This eventually means that multi-professional team includes the exchange of the valuable knowledge and experience between different professional to provide high quality of care to the patient in an organization (Chao, 2017).
There are many types of benefit which is brought by the multi-professional team in the patient-care organization such as, it used to help the professional in understanding the issue of the patient in more effective and proficient ways. As more than one professional in the team used to invest the mind on issue which is faced by the patient (Masters and Uhr,2017). This eventually help an organization in satisfy different need of the patient and their family in an organization. As multi-professional team in an organization used to enhance he quality of the healthcare which is provided with the help of diversity of knowledge which is presented in team environment (Bellé and Cantarelli, 2018).
Multi-professional team also used to improve quality of the decision-making in an organization, as decision in this team used to carry out as a result of consultation between more than one professional (Baldwin, 2016). The reason behind the same is that one professional alone cannot meet all the need of patient, having more than one professional to overcome the issue help the assign professional in making better decision in the multi-professional team. Also, Multi-professional team in an organization used to improve efficiency of treatment in an organization. As multi-professional team includes professional from different functional department. This eventually help the Psychiatrists in getting all sort of services related to the treatment on a go. This eventually improves the efficiency of operation in the health care organization (Lalani, Bussu,. and Marshall, 2018).
Multi-professional team in the health care industry also help an organization in building good environment in an organization, as there is good amount of the clarity among different professional in the team which builds trust among team. This used to promote good image of an organization in the eye of patient in hospital (El Ansari and et.al., 2016).
Multi-professional team working
There are many aspects which help the multi-professional team in working better as compare to any other team in an organization. The biggest aspect which used to help them is the diversity of skill and knowledge in team. As more than one professional with the different function and unit used to club up together it eventually helps team in recruiting good sort of knowledge and skill in the team. As all effective team is able to dealt with different business situation very effectively in an organization. Multi-professional team also able to do same with the diverse amount of the skill and knowledge present in an organization (Uzohue, Yaya and Akintayo, 2016).
` Another aspect which used to help Multi-professional team in an organization is amount of resources available for the team to carry out the operation of an organization. As it has been find out that Multi-professional team used to have a better human resources with the diverse skill, hey also used to have better information resources (Glen, and Leiba, 2017). As all accountable professional for the patient used to work closely with them in carrying out operation of the business. Also, multi-professional team in an organization is able to take support of different resources of different department which eventually improves the amount of the resources in an organization to carry out the operation of business.
Leadership
Leadership is the art which is shown by leader in an organization to motivate the individual or the group of the individual in an organization in such a way that it used to help an organization in achieving the common goal of the business also by looking at personal goal of the employee in it. Leaders in an organization used to use the combination of different leadership style to lead operation of team in long run of the business (Taylor, 2016). Generally the selection of the leadership style in an organization depends upon variety of the factor such as motivational factor of employee, organizational need and situation of the business.
Some of the most commonly used leadership style by the leader in an organization are Democratic leadership, in which leader in the hospital used to take the feedback of all the professional before making any decision in an organization. Also, leader used to give some sort of freedom to nurses to explore. Autocratic leadership, is the another common leadership style in which leader used to take decision in an organization without taking opinion of any employee in an organization (Gracey and et.al., 2016). Laissez-faire leadership, is another type of leadership style in which leader in the hospital used to give instruction to the nurses or other staff and allows them to carry out the operation as their choice in an organization. Situational leadership is one of the commonly used leadership style in health care industry, in this leadership style leader generally used to use the leadership style in an organization depending upon the situation which is currently prevailing in the hospital (Smart and et.al., 2018).
When looking at the leadership in the multi-professional team it has been seen that it includes transfer of variety of knowledge and instruction to professional in the team. This instruction includes different sort of the action or option which is available in front of the nurse at time of treating the patient or achieving goal. This is the clinical leadership. Another leadership which is find is the shared leadership, in which all professional used to share the different suggestion in the team. Distributed leadership is the another sort of leadership which is found in multi-professional team (Bezemer and et.al., 2016).
Quality and skill of leader
Being a leader, is not that easy task as it seems, as there are many types of the situation through which all an organization used to go and this asks the variety of different skill to be showcased from the professional side (Lavelle and et.al., 2019). Communication skill is one of the most important skill, as a Clinical nurse leader of the nurse team it is very necessary for individual to be clear about the different task which need to be performed by the professional to carry out the operation of an organization (Haines and et.al.,2017).. As all the patient used to have a distinct sort of need and require a different treatment in the hospital. It is very necessary for the leader to pass on the specific instruction to the professional in hospital, so that they can carry out the operation of hospital accordingly. Not only that Clinical nurse leader in the multi-professional team also need to be good at listening skill as well. As there will be many types of the issue which will be faced by all the professional in their operation. Listening them and providing them with the valuable instruction will eventually help the organization in improving the quality of the service which is provided by the organization and will also help them in bringing the good flow of communication in the multi-professional team (Barker Cornwell and Gishen, 2016).
Motivation skill is another skill which need to be possessed by the leader in the professional team, As it is very important for the Clinical nurse leader to motivate the professional to improve the efficiency of their work in an organization. As in the health care industry there are many situations in an organization where professional find it difficult to treat the patient due to the different behaviour of patient Berkovich, 2018). This used to have a very negative impact on confidence of professional. Leader in an organization has to make sure that they used to motivate professional in the hospital, so that they are focused toward achieving the goal effectively in hospital. The professional or nurse who will be motivated to achieve the goal of the team will eventually found it easy to understand the different issue of the patient and will provide with the treatment in more efficient way (Berger and et.al., 2016).
Positive attitude is the attribute which is required by Clinical nurse leader of the professional team, As there are many situations which will arise in the Hospital and out of them many will be in the favourable side and many will be against professional (Lavender and et.al., 2019). As a leader of the team the leader has to make sure that they used to dealt with the different situation positively, this will help the Clinical nurse leader in building a good environment in team and also leader will find it easy to make the decision in the team (Vehko and et.al., 2018). Positive attitude will also pass on the good message to the patient in the hospital, as they will feel to discuss the different issue which is faced by them. After analysing the difficulty faced by patient, organization can positively improve the quality of the patient experience in the hospital.
Decision-making is the another important skill which need to be highlighted by the leader of the multi-professional team, the reason behind same is that in the multi-professional team there are professional of different unit. So Clinical nurse leader has to make sure that the decision which is taken in the hospital is accepted by all the professional of different unit (Sørensen and et.al., 2017). So it is very important for the Clinical nurse leader of the professional team to have good decision-making skill in themselves. Good decision-making will also improve the quality of the services of the organization. As good decision-making skill will help the leader in making the corrective action regarding the issue which is faced by the different professional. On the basis of the same the professional can provide the good sort of the services to the patient in hospital (Cardoso and et.al.,2017).
Delegation skill, it is skill which looks at allocating different roles and responsibility which need to be performed by professional in the hospital to accomplish the objective of the team. It is very important to have the delegation skill for all Clinical nurse leader of the multi-professional team as there are many sorts of the activity which need to be performed by professional in an organization, so the leader in an organization has to make sure that they properly delegate the responsibility to different professional in the hospital so that they are very much clear about the different activity which need to be performed by them in the hospital (Bezemer and et.al.,2017). This will eventually improve the patient experience and satisfaction in the organization. As leader will able to plan the different activity very successfully with the help of the delegation of work in the organization (Wranikand et.al.,2019).
Role model, it is the another attribute which need to be shown by the leader of the professional in the hospital. As explained in the above section as well that there are many situations in the health care industry where professional feels less on confidence and find it difficult to overcome the same (Onyett., 2018). At that time leader of the nurse team has to make sure that Clinical nurse leader try to lead by example by solving the problem and guiding all professional to follow the same path. For doing the same Clinical nurse leader in the has to make sure that, they try to build the positive image in the eye of the professional in the team so that they are ready to follow all the instruction (Huhn and et.al.,2017). This will eventually help the professional at the time of implementing any sort of the changes in the hospital as all the nurse will find it easy to understand and support the leader.
Theories to support the skill and behaviour
Transformational and transactional theories of the leadership used to include the quality and behaviours of the clinical nurse leader (Willcocks, 2018). . As transformational theory of the leadership is the theory in which leader in the organization used to work with the team to find out the change which need to be brought, by creating the different vision and inspiring the member of the team in such a way that all used to follow the same (Megheirkouni, 2017). This theory has helped us in understanding that communication, motivation and role model are few aspects which need to be shown by clinical leader in the organization. As to inspire the professional in the team it is very important for the leader to build an image like a role model in the team so that all the other member in the team used to follow the leader and the instruction provided by the employee in the team. To accomplish the same image at the workplace, leader in the organization has to make sure that every decision which is being taken by him in the organization is taken with full sort of confidence (Patel and et.al.,2016).
Also, this theory used to explain that providing motivation to the employee always help the organization in bringing best out of the employee in the long run of the operation, as motivated employee always find it easy to understand and evolve the different issue which is faced by them at the time of treating patient in the organization (Musinguzi and et.al., 2018). Transformational leader are the one who always find it easy to adapt the different business situation very easily in the organization. As a result it is very important for the clinical nurse leader to have a positive attitude so that they can interoperate the different business situation in easy way in the organization (Weintraub, 2018). Also, clinical nurse leader need to have good communication skill. So that they can pass on the different finding of the business situation very easily to the other in the organization and also can take a feedback on the same in the team. Taking feedback and communicating clarity to the team will help the leader in the organization in getting better trust and result from the market (Aarons, Sklar, and Sevdalis, 2017).
Transactional leadership theory on the other hand used to look at the style of leadership that focuses on supervision, organization, or performance; it is an integral part of the Full Range Leadership Model. Transactional leadership is a style of leadership in which leaders promote compliance by followers through both rewards and punishments. This theory has helped us in understanding that decision-making and delegation skill are two type of the skill which is very much require in the clinical nurse's leader in the long run of the business (Ibrahim, El-Zaart and Adams, 2018). As it is very important for the leader to build the relationship with the follower in the organization and pass on the instruction to do the work accordingly. Delegation skill will be very much require by the leader as this skill will delegate the different work which need to be performed by the nurses in the organization. It has been also understood that it is very important to have good decision-making skill to overcome the different issue which is faced by the organization (Cragg and Spurgeon, 2018). As this theory used to look at shorter term goal. It is very important for all the leader to have a better decision-making skill to pass on the short term goal to the follower.
