Healthcare Organization Mental Health

Question: Describe the Mental healthcare organization? Answer: Personal Statement At the beginning of my career I served a healthcare organization as a support worker in mental health care. Additionally, for few months I have worked in different fields of health and social care. Gaining experience in different health and social care fields, I found that I have an inclination to provide care to the mental health patients. I found the task significantly challenging as well as I believe I have the potential to provide suitable care for catering the needs of the people suffering from mental illness. Presently I am pursuing a bachelors degree in Information technology from South Bank University and this is my final year. I am planning to pursue further studies in mental health care in order to acquire relevant technical skills and knowledge in order to provide care to the people with mental illness. I strongly believe that the postgraduate course in Mental Health Nursing is an appropriate course which will help in gaining extensive knowledge as well as develop required skill for providing excellent service to the mental health patients. I have gone through the syllabus of the course and found that I will be exposed to the subjects such as biology and psychology which are essential for analyzing the condition along with the treatment need of the patients. Additionally, studying sociology will be helpful as it will provide a holistic view of the social care and help in analyzing the social background of the patient which significantly influence the recovery and well being of the patient. Though I have practical experience in providing support to the mental health patients, this course will enable me in considering different aspects by capitalizing the technical knowledge. I have worked in healthcare sector for years. During this period only few months I have provided care to the general health care patients. In the rest of the period I have provided care and support to the mental health patients successfully under the guidance of expert healthcare professionals. This experience has significantly helped me in learning the essential qualities for providing excellent care to the mental health patients. I have also developed confidence as I have handled several patients having different issues. Additionally, I have encountered several difficult cases and threatening situations. It has helped in improving my problem solving ability. I have worked in a team and it helped me in exerting my performance as a team player. I have learnt how to communicate effectively with the patients as well as my colleagues. As I have significant experience in providing care to the mental health patients as well as I have inclination to serve the mentally ill people, I would like to become a nurse for the mental health patients. I will take the challenge to assist the mentally ill patient in recovering. My personality is suitable for this profession as I am extremely patient and I respond to the situations quickly as well as rationally. I believe the prost graduate course will help in nurturing my skill and potential for becoming a nurse to provide care to the mental health patients.
