HE704 Leadership for Allied Health Professional

Assignment

You are asked to produce

A service development/business plan (1,000 words) with a 2000-word critical analysis of the potential strengths and possible limitations of the service development/business plan with suggestions for how limitations could be overcome.

The rubric against your assignment will be graded can be found in ‘Assessment & Grades’ on Studentcentral. On the rubric will see that assignments will be examined against the learning outcomes of the module i.e.

By the end of the module, students will be able to:

LO1. Demonstrate self-direction, originality and creativity to write a business development plan based on the needs of the service in which they work.

LO2. Critically analyse the potential strengths and limitations of the business plan.

LO3. Provide critically reasoned proposals for how the limitations of the business plan could be overcome.

  • It is recommended that the structure of your assignment follows the requirements of the assignment i.e. it begins by presenting the business plan and follows with a critical analysis of that plan.
  • Within the service development/plan you will need to justify ‘why’ you chose to develop this service.
  • The plan itself should follow a logical structure and demonstrate originality e.g. by proposing a new service, and creativity e.g. by suggesting a novel approach to addressing the problem the service has been designed to address.
  • The critical analysis of the plan and may be divided into sub-sections, which may be several paragraphs long and headings may provide the reader with helpful signposting. Each sub-section will highlight the salient points and there will be obvious connections to what has gone before and what will follow. It is important that all the points you make are made clearly and concisely. Statements of fact need to be supported by evidence or referenced to some authority as appropriate. The text should flow from one sentence to the next and from one paragraph to the next, so the reader can follow your argument and end with a conclusion summarising the main points within your critique.
  • In critically analysing your plan, it is important to highlight what the strengths and limitations of the plan are and why, providing evidence from relevant literature to support your analysis. Critically reasoned proposals to overcome the limitations of the plan should be identified.

Using the given critical appraisal framework critically appraise the given qualitative and quantitative research papers

/in /by

Critically analyse the given qualitative and quantitative research papers. Provide a balanced appraisal of what has worked and has not for each paper. Support statements with sources and define key research terms and the pros and cons related to their use. Using the given critical appraisal framework critically analyse both papers. Form conclusions and recommendations for practice either at the end of each appraisal or as a combined version covering both papers analysed. The focus is on research knowledge, understanding and application. Define key research terms used then apply them in relation to the research papers. Use the framework subheadings to facilitate critical analysis and repeat for both papers. Some sections lend themselves more to research appreciation and appraisal such as the methodology, data collection etc so invest in more detail in these sections. Aim, Background and Focus need only be a few sentences. Format your essay under the subheadings of the appraisal frameworks given one for the qualitative paper and one for the quantitative paper.

Critically evaluate the pros and cons of the ‘virtual’ and face to face’ appointments for the patients at the Community Health.

/in /by

Non- attendance of the patients for the appointment has been a major concern at the National Health Service (NHS) which makes significant wastage of health service resources and increases waiting time for the other patients. Missed appointments known as ‘Did Not Attends’ (DNAs) can cause serious delays in treatment for other patients (NHS news, 2014). [Here need to explain the authenticity of the above statements with the evidence of NHS Audit or Research]. It has been reported that DNA rates in mental health are higher compared to other settings [Justify the statement with evidences and previous research statistics].

Non-attendance of outpatient/community appointments has been a long-standing issue for the NHS and this is also the case at the First Response team were I am currently working. The patients may fail to see a specialist when needed and thereby impacting on the continuity of care, compliance with medication, and engagement with the service. This translates into a financial impact on the service and the professionals’ morale. Clinical evidence suggests that psychiatric patients who miss follow up appointments have a higher chance of being admitted over a 12-month period and there is more likelihood of a negative effect on the condition [What clinical evidences-justification with previous research].

In the pandemic period we have accustomed to dealing with patients through virtual appointment, and we successfully and effectively assessed the patients. The fact that the practice of ‘virtual’ appointments is attracted more presence of the patients which automatically reduced with DNA’s comparing to ‘face to face’ appointments. Of course, the ‘face to face’ appointment must be provided to the patients who actually requested for the same. Before the pandemic we have followed the practice of ‘face to face’ appointments. But in pandemic time we changed it into ‘virtual’ appointments. When we had this ‘face to face’ appointments the DNA rate was more comparing to the pandemic time ‘virtual’ appointments.The simple way of making changes in the initial appointment letter will definitely reduce the DNA percentage. If the letter includes both the options of ‘face to face’ and ‘virtual’ appointment, the patient could opt whether they are interested in ‘face to face’ or ‘virtual’ appointments. This change will not make any extra cost to the Trust and reduce the DNA’s [Justify the above paragraphs with previous research, NHS Audit Materials, DNA statistics before and after the Pandemic].
This study critically evaluating the issues pertaining to non-attendance (DNA) in initial mental health assessments at Community Health and the significance changes may be considered to solve this problem by using ‘face to face’ and ‘virtual’ appointments without burden to the trust funds. This study is also demonstrates the importance of ‘virtual’ and face to face’ appointments based on the 4 pillars of the Advanced Clinical Practice (Clinical Practice, Leadership and Management, Education and Research). Furthermore, this study demonstrates to what extent the ‘virtual’ appointments benefit to the patients and also safeguarding the health service resources. Moreover, the study also critically evaluate the pros and cons of the ‘virtual’ and face to face’ appointments for the patients at the Community Health. The sources must be used from Academic journals and must NOT be older than 2 years.
