As with Blocks 1 and 2, you will use your practice setting as a learning resource to help you develop new skills and deepen your understanding of what informs and determines the support and care we offer to service users and their carers. You will continue to develop your skills in making best use of the range of relevant learning opportunities in your practice setting. In this block you will explore how to work effectively with others to deliver: l person-centred care l evidence-based support l care that is planned through rigorous assessment that minimises risks to service users, yourself and colleagues. The block will conclude with you evaluating the effectiveness of the interventions offered to service users and carers, including the success of communications. Please note that the term ‘carer’ also embraces the role of ‘advocate’, a role which may be somewhat different to a carer, or which may be an integral part of the carer’s role. The feature they both have in common is that carers and advocates, with the rare exception, act in the best interests of the person they are supporting and/or providing care to. Throughout the block, you are referred to a range of documents that can be accessed by clicking on the links in the text. When you access such documents it is important that you are discerning and read only that part which is relevant to what you are exploring and learning about.
