Reflection on working with @HOME TEAM with sutton health and care (COMMUNITY)

While in this placement gained a lot of knowledge on how to take a holistic history from the patient.I got an opportunities to go an outreach with different specialist nurses in the community and learn a lot from the team such as identifying categories of the wound, attended cardiac rehabilitation.During my placement at home team, I have increased my knowledge by taking holistic history taking from the patient according to joint assessment form, doing mobility assessment by using different types mobility aids.

I have gained a better understanding of documentation process and communicating with Multi Disciplinary Team.

I feel confident in taking the history according to joint assessment form and assessing patient under supervision of the practice assessor. whilst on the outreach with specialist team, I got an opportunity to develop my skills such as manual blood pressure check and heart rate reading, listening to heart rate and breathing sounds and do the wound assessment and refer to district nurse accordingly. I am also able to perform urine analysis using urine dip stick.

I continue to develop skills on communicating patient efficiently, confidently and clearly with the patient and engaging them in every steps of the care.

I have always act professionally and act in the best interest of the patient all the time. Always gain consent from the patient and treat patient with respect, kindness and compassion. Always work according to trust policy and think the well being of the patient once the patient is discharged.
