Summative Assessment:

Pictorial or graphical representation of a complex patient/services user’s care journey and supporting essay (100%)

You will develop a pictorial or graphical representation (e.g., mind map) depicting the care journey or involvement with health and care agencies, of a patient/service user you have cared for in practice with complex needs. This will demonstrate the relationships and main issues associated with these interactions.

• Demonstrating roles, responsibilities of all members of the multi-disciplinary Team (MDT)
• Awareness of different types of team working

The supporting 1500-word essay should identify the rationale for choosing the patient/service user journey, critique the key elements of your pictorial representation, apply relevant regulatory, policy and legal frameworks and critically explore the relationships between health care agencies and the patient/service user.

Both elements of the assessment must be submitted in the assessment drop box.
