Firstly, choose a patient/client or group of clients in whose care you have been involved in. Then give some brief,
relevant background details about them with regard to their needs and the care given. This could relate to a ward, nursing
home, assisted living accommodation or nursery.
Within your assignment you must consider the issue of consent in relation to the patient/client or groups of clients.
Use your reading to help you develop your discussions and ensure that your work is referenced from current evidence and
research.
Assignment Guidelines:
Firstly, you will need to discuss how you gained consent from a person/group in whose care you have been involved. This
consent may come from the manager of the area.
You will then need to consider the legal framework that governs the context you have chosen eg. Nursery you would need to
include The Children Act (1989).
You also need to consider the ethical issues related to your case study. This could include confidentiality, storage of
client information, beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice.
You also need to consider the policy context. In terms of an acute setting this might include reference to the Health and
Social Care Act (2012).
Remember that you will need to link your discussions about care to your wider reading and research. Try to think how the
theory you read relates to the practice you experience. Ensure that you use Harvard referencing in your text.
The aim of this assessment is to help you build on the work we have covered in the scenario focused sessions, your reading
and personal study, as well as to enable you to demonstrate achievement of the module learning outcomes. It should also
help you to develop your skills and knowledge in assessing and delivering care in practice. You should be able to see
change here in terms of where you were at the beginning of the first year and where you are now.
Your work must be original and must not be based on any other assessment you or someone else has completed. Your work will
also be checked using TURNITIN plagiarism software.
Please remember the issue of confidentiality. Nowhere in the essay should the person, ward, hospital or other setting be
identified. Permission must be obtained from the patient to use their case.
You should write your assignment so that you include reflection on practice, but this will need to be clearly linked with
discussions and points of view that have emerged from your reading. You will need to refer to this reading throughout your
text using the Harvard Referencing System.
Try and get as much discussion as possible going in your writing. Make sure that you support all of your discussions with
reference to your reading, as though we can all have views, in academic writing these must be supported with reference to
people who have written about them and who are viewed as experts in that field. By using what they say to support what we
