...care for the benefit of service users”. The two day IP conference (2011), was a great opportunity to meet different professionals and agencies from different areas of health and social care profession and share their views and understanding on IP working and IP learning. The Centre for Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) has defined IPE as “Interprofessional Education occurs when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care" (CAIPE, 2002). CAIPE uses the term "Interprofessional education" (IPE) to include all such learning in academic and work based settings before and after qualification, adopting an inclusive view of "professional". Based on the key themes, we discussed how Interprofessional collaboration can provide best possible care to the service users and analyse where the services are lacking. Through group discussions, key note addresses and seminars, I was able to learn about the communication issues between the health and social care professionals, contrasting professional perspectives and values, ethics within teams and stereotyping, power imbalances and team processes ( Fletcher, 2008). Improving the quality of communication is now a key priority for health and social care (DoH, 2008). Staffs at all levels are expected to work in partnership with multi-professionals and agencies.

...PROFESSION OF ARMS The purpose of this paper is to express a set of views on the ethical obligations of members of the American profession of arms in order to stimulate thoughtful discussion and broader debate about the proper limits of acceptable and effective professional conduct. These views are focused for most part on the obligations of commissioned officers, but they apply in many ways to the public and private conduct of senior non-commissioned officers, and indeed, all military members. They depend to a large degree on a particular understanding of the governing compact of this country and the behavior American citizens expect of their uniformed servants. The overall objective of the Army Profession of Arms campaign is for Soldiers and leaders to refine their understanding of what it means to be professionals expert members of the Profession of Arms after nine years of war and to recommit to a culture of service and the responsibilities and behaviors of our profession as articulated in the Army Ethic. Much of the initial discussion involving this campaign focuses on whether or not military service is a profession. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines a profession as "a calling requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive academic preparation; a principal calling, vocation, or employment; or the whole body of persons engaged in a calling. Based on the subtle differences between the definitions of a profession and an occupation, I...

...sacrifice of its members in ways that no other profession will. Reflecting upon nine years of combat, the Army is exploring the strengths that have sustained Soldiers and the challenges that they are facing as a profession. The Army has also made a commitment to education, efforts to sustain the bond of trust between the Army and the American public, and the impact of decentralized operations. What it means to be a profession and the unique challenges that the Army faces? I feel you’re not a profession because you say you are. Profession is society’s way of organizing expert work, the kind of work it takes years to learn. Professionals act and practice their knowledge, which is expert knowledge. The professionals’ work is absolutely critical to the survival of the society, going back to the gravity of a Soldier’s expert knowledge. True professionals are servants. They lead a life of servitude for the satisfaction of a job well-done. I feel that the tension in the Army between an occupation-based culture and a profession-based culture. The campaign is seeking to leverage the successes of the Army to maintain it as a profession and avoid becoming an occupation-based culture. I have never seen the Army so focused and as resilient as I see now. What is it about the profession that has helped achieve results in Iraq and increasingly in Afghanistan. In my opinion I recommended that Soldiers recommit themselves to the culture of service, the topic of profession of arms would...

...1. Do you think Mindy dresses appropriately for a professional interview? No, I do not think Mindy is dress appropriately for a professional interview. Mindy look like she is dress to go work at a tattoo shop with the piercings, and tattoos she have. I believe that Mindy’s dress is inappropriate for the medical facility because her hair is colored different bright colors, she has facial piercings, her clothes do not cover her body and undergarments are showing, she has on too much make up, she is wearing dangling earrings and bracelet, her tattoos are not covered up and she has on open toed shoes. Most employers have a standard for dress codes. If she is not breaking any of the dress codes, then nothing can be done to make her dress more professionally. The numbers I choose that would best fit her for a professional interview is 1, 2, and 1. 2. Does personal "style" detract from the medical facility's air of professionalism? Mindy’s personal “style” does detract from the facilities air of professionalism. She looks like she should be working in a tanning salon or a tattoo parlor, not a professional medical clinic. 3. What are your thoughts on how and why it is important to project a professional image at the interview? In order to project a professional image, one should follow the dress code established by the business. You should be polite and helpful in any situation presented to you. You should use tact when talking to others and be respectful of others opinions....

...placed on a back burner and sometimes even forgotten completely. Empowerment is an important part of the human services profession and therefore the barriers that affect empowerment associated with human services need to be looked at and addressed. Barriers Associated with Empowerment Within human services empowerment is a key aspect of helping individuals seeking help. Human services professionals work with individuals in need of help that the individual is unable to achieve on his or her own. Where human service professionals have an array of information and guidance available to him or her, clients that seek out assistance from human services professionals do not. This is where empowerment begins to take shape and where human services individuals start encountering barriers in the attempts of empowerment. Barriers become present in many different shapes and forms when empowerment is concerned. One of the biggest barriers that a human service professional encounters in regards to empowerment is resistance. When human services professionals begin helping individuals the human service professional works on the individual’s self-esteem and empowers the individual to become independent. Many times this empowerment is met with resistance caused by the fear that an individual has with the change that will occur. This resistance can be a large barrier in the way of empowerment for the client and the human services...

...Continuing Professional Development ent (CPD) is a growing area of interest. If we interpret the term ‘professional’ quite loosely, then we can include not just the traditional regulated professions such as medicine and law under this heading but also include management and similar fields of work. The requirement to continue to keep up to date has been the starting point for CPD. In medicine, for instance, there are new drugs and procedures appearing all the time. Doctors need to keep on top of this and therefore they need to continue to learn. Indeed the UK Government is proposing that General Practitioners will have to be revalidated every five years in order to maintain their licence to practice. However the emphasis on just knowledge learning has broadened over recent years. Now we find the pressure is for professionals to increase their skills and capabilities to cope with a changing world. ... Read More - Please log in or register to read this content. Membership is free. We see this area as clearly strategic as the best CPD is a process of continuing to learn in one’s professional arena for as long as one is employed in that profession. It cannot be just a short term, quick fix activity. However many professional bodies still see it in the latter terms.
