We can deliver better outcomes with partnership working when all parties are working towards the same goals for the service ort for individuals. That all parties have a good and mutual knowledge of the person they are delivering the service to and so that they are aware of each other’s input and all have a similar or same goal.
Working in partnership ensures good communication throughout the process and that a high standard of care and mutual assistance can be delivered through a combine attempt and enthusiasm. Explains how to overcome barriers to partnership working For this question I am going to explain strategies used in health and social care environments to overcome barriers to effective communication and inter personal interactions.
Building relationships and appropriate verbal and non-verbal communication. It is very important to build relationships with people who use services involve skills listening, together with appropriate verbal and non-verbal communication. It also may be important to use friendly, warm non-verbal behaviour that expresses interest in another person such as:
- Making effective eye contact(varied and appropriate contact with another person’s eyes
- Smiling-looking friendly rather than frozen or cold in expression
- Adopting a relaxed and calm body posture
- Using an appropriate gentle tone of voice
- Using hand movements and gestures that show interest
- Nodding your head slightly while talking to communicate messages such as “I see,’ or ‘I understand’, or ‘I agree”.
It is important to build an understanding of the needs of people we work with in health and social care. Very often, people will make their preferred method of communication obvious.
Sometimes a medical or professional social work assessment may needs in order to clarify the person’s needs and their preferred method of communication. All the skills of recognising and overcoming barriers to communicate will be useful to avoid trigger situation, such as aggression.
