The care planning meeting revolved around an 11 year old named, Katy, who was/is subject to care order. The rules around contact with Katy had been made very explicit to Katy’s mother and her Aunt, at the time of the care order being made. However upon receiving the case I learned that Katy had been having unsupervised contact with both her mother and her Aunt, as a result of a lack of adherence to the care order by Katy’s foster carers. As a result Katy had been moved from her previous foster carers to new residential home. Unfortunately Katy’s move from her foster carers to her new residential home was not perfect and may have been a cause for anxiety for Katy due to the uncertainty of her…

When it comes to defining the question of interprofessional healthcare, the following article offers an excellent definition. “The traditional model of health care is a rigid pyramid with the physician at the top, explains Cynthia Booth Lord, director of Quinnipiac’s PA Program. The IP model is more like a rubber band, she describes. At various points in the patient’s treatment, different health professionals take the lead, stretching the rubber band in different directions. The patient, always at the center of the treatment plan, benefits from more comprehensive, less compartmentalized care.”…

I think in your opening sentence you give a perfect example of a global care chain however I don’t feel it defines it. I believe global care chains are invisible connections created through the pair or unpaid care of children and households. I like how you pointed out that the mother sacrifices her happiness and really her connection with her children to ultimately give them a better life. While on the basic level I see how both parties benefit from a global care chain however, I believe that it has a large impact on the always widening wealth gap between the wealthy and the poor. Like you, it makes me realize how lucky I was to be brought up in a nuclear family where my parents were highly involved in my…
