At this event we were working within a group. There were individuals from different professional backgrounds working on a case study about Steven. We worked as a group and shared our own perspective about the different care that was required by Steven and his family members.
This event allowed me to gain my first experience of multi agency working. It was an opportunity to learn effective methods to communicate with professionals from different backgrounds and explore intervention that are available from other services.
The cases study mentioned Steven having dark circles, I would interpretate that as the child being tired and not having enough sleep. However, the nutritionist believed the dark circles suggested that he has a nutrient deficiency. Similarly, with the child losing weight we as social workers would think that the child may be neglected. On the other hand, the physiotherapist suggested that an individual with cystic fibrosis would have to have a high calorie intake.
By working with other professionals we got to explore different intervention and perspectives and it allowed us all to share our knowledge and come to an efficient outcome.
