1.1 - Review the range of groups and individuals whose communication needs must be addressed in own job role:

This would involve speaking to resident’s families and social workers (this could be in the form of a face –to –face service review which could also include the resident). Additionally, I converse with other healthcare professionals such as a GP. This could be done over the phone to arrange a visit to a resident or to speak regarding medication. Additionally, contacting District nurses for resident intervention is normally done by faxing requests to them. These are generally the appropriate forms of communication for these healthcare professionals. These requests or instructions are then recorded in a care-plan for an individual. In some cases written down and locked away, in other cases they would be password protected on a secure computer system.
Dealing on a daily basis instructing colleagues with their daily duties are also part of my role, as is reporting concerns/giving updates to senior manager. Colleagues would be given written information and concerns from a previous shift, arming them with the information they needed to be effective care givers for the day. In this case, paperwork would immediately be locked away, as would resident care-plans.

Primarily, it is the residents themselves that I communicate with the most.
1.2 - Explain how to support effective communication within own job role:
Within my role, I feel that it is essential to maintain good relationships with staff, peers and healthcare professionals and this is assisted by good communication.
As previously explained, working
