Sharna Rose, 13VA BTEC National in Level 3 Health and Social Care Unit 6: Personal and Professional in Health and Social Care M2: Assess how the action plan has helped support own development over the duration of the programme M3: Use an example to examine the link between theory and practice Creating action plans and reflective practice has helped me develop both personally and professionally. Through the duration of my health and social care course, looking back at the goals I had set myself in the beginning some were more realistic than others. However, an action plan gave me a better way of how to progress with my goals and targets. Designing an action plan in order to fit my individual needs also developed my organisational – being …show more content…
Again, now that I have found ways on how to maintain being organised, this has given me time to meet particular deadlines and complete work I have outstanding. Have I changed throughout my course? Personally, for the duration of the health and social care course I believe that I have changed. This course has given me the additional skills and knowledge in which I can use for the future. My presentational skills especially have improved as before when I had to present to an audience I would become very nervous, however in various units presenting in front of an audience was essential. From the encouragement from both the teachers and my peers I am able to now confidently speak in front of a small audience and be comfortable with my work and present it - I have also used their feedback as a way to improve myself. Have I developed personally and professionally? At the start of the health and social care course I knew that I wanted a career working within the health or social care sector. From working with local authorities (such as schools, elderly care home) I have learned how to communicate effectively with different service users. Professionally I have learned the importance of guidelines within a health and social care sector. I know and understand the relevant that I am able to promote later within my career with working with service users. Over the duration of the health and social care
With all that said I think the overall experience helped me develop professional and prepare for future professional relationships ahead, such of between nurse and service user. The placement is the main cause for my professional development as it for a formal learning opportunity; however at the same time my academic work has helped me develop professionally as well. This is because it helped me develop my strengths as well as increase my self-awareness. However with all that said I believe that I developed professionally within the placement rather than anywhere else. This is due to the reasons above and also because of other areas that the work placement helped me develop which is are linked to professional development. for example it taught me about time keeping and how to manage my time, for example it taught me that I needed to leave with sufficient time in case there were delays or due to other reasons. It also taught me
Undertaking the personal action plan has been an important step for me to personally reflect on each element on my approach to managing my work as previously my approach had very little structure and it was more reactive rather than proactive. The personal action plan will provide structure and milestones for me throughout my studies. (Caunt, 2013, 52) defines planning as ‘breaking the project down into tasks and activities; deciding in what order they should be accomplished; determining the timescale, deciding what resources are needed;executing-carrying out the work, co-ordinating the input of others, resolving difficulties;’ During my studies using a personal action plan will provide more structure and it will also enable me to factor in

1.1 - It is important to continue to improve knowledge and practice, so as to keep abreast of any changes within the industry. This includes all minimum standards, legislation and good practice guidelines for health and social care. I need to be fully aware of any changes within the industry so I can pass on the information that I have gained to the staff in the centre, so as to improve the service provided to our clients. I can communicate any new information by way of staff meetings, memos and client committee meetings, when I feel the service users need to know when any changes are to be implemented which may have a direct impact on them. By undertaking additional training, either credited

Through this action plan I think I have developed both professionally and personally. I have developed professionally because I was given a chance to work with elderly people and this gave me a taste of what nursing would be like. I want to be adult nurse and so working with elderly people have given me a chance to develop my knowledge that would be helpful in my professional life. This target has helped me personally because it taught me that respect isn’t something that you ask from people, it is something that you get when you treat others as the way you wanted them to treat you.
To prepare for employment, a new graduate can self-analyse skills and clinical performance using models of analysis. Self analysis can take many forms, from the competency learning model to personal reflective writing. The purpose is to identify areas for skill development and use the models for improving knowledge (Higginson and Hicks, 2006). From this preparation, the individual can then appreciate the level of clinical supervision that will be required post graduation to support professional development and direct of job applications appropriately towards either the NHS or private sector. One model of self analysis that an individual can use is the four stages of competency. These four stages allow a person to identify the level currently at in relation to a specific skill and then over time chart the course of the development of the skills from incompetence to competence (Getha-Taylor, Hummert, Nalbandian and Silvia, 2013).

In today’s era job security has fallen. People are less likely to be employed by the same firm for the rest of their life and therefore I feel the need to create a personal development plan has increased. Creating a personal development plan will help me reflect upon my personal career goals and can organise my thoughts, making them easier to process. From understanding what I like and dislike in the workplace I can create clearly defined steps on how to achieve what I want. Discussions with others such as my supervisor at work can help me understand what I’m good at and what I should be doing in the future. Once my goals have been identified action plans can be implemented. Examples of action steps in a personal development plan could be; Update CV, Enroll at University, Attend Conferences etc… These steps can be devised to personally suit me and can help me achieve my goals of becoming a
Personal professional development is important process these days because it enables people to become more aware of their own skills, knowledge and behaviors . This in turn is necessary for the self-improvement which is crucial to people in order to for example getting promoted at work as the market becomes more competitive . Back in College, during my HND in Business Course one of the subjects was Personal Development. Now I know that without this experience I would not be able to focus and develop myself in the right direction. In order to find the right path the very first thing of the process, according to Miles, should be setting a clear goal . My goal was to pass Graded Unit achieving at least B grade. I used
The purpose and the aim of this report is to evaluate and describe the experiential learning and closely focuses on the type of organisation, management structure and the process involved. Experiential learning is a process which is designed to make the most out of the experience while doing it. And it is incorporated with learning strategies and different approaches of teaching Burned (1989) Kolb explains four phases in the process of experiential learning, Experience, reflexive observation, analysis and active implementations Kolb (1984) Bandura explain learning is an experience which is learnt by watching other people and then doing it which then provide a learner an image and the desire of a such behaviour and it will then work as a
provides students with different ways to learn the same material. Additionally, students learn by doing or experiencing their education, rather than through traditional methods of lectures, notes, and memorization. The experiential learning theory involves students centered learning, where students developing skills through “discovering, processing, and applying information and reflecting on what they have done” (Bower, 2013, p. 32). These theories and practices provide students with various ways to learn in the classroom that benefits various learning styles as well as creating interest in what is being learned.
Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels. Level one consists of the four stage cycle of learning, and level two consists of four separate learning styles. Most of Kolb’s theory is concerned with the learner’s internal cognitive processes.
The experiential learning theory is an educational theory that was developed to recognize how prevalent experiences are in the learning process. Carl Rogers’ experiential learning theory addresses the needs and the wants of the learner (Fried, ND). A learner who associates themselves with personal involvement, self-initiation, and self-evaluated assignments, aid in shaping the learner as a whole (Fried, ND). Rogers writes, “A learner that is motivated to achieve a specific goal will be more likely to learn than an individual assigned to read for a grade” (Fried, ND). His theory states certain principals that one should follow in order to
Experiential learning is usually related with learning that varies on direct experiences which link the learner with
