Throughout your work towards S1, you will need to keep areflective journal (roughly from week 2 to week 9) in which you will write weekly on matters related to the taught content and how these might impact on your own understanding of the various historical moments, theories and models, also being related to your own beliefs, values, and your ability to critically engage towards your and others self-improving.

Your work for S1 can be structured as following:

1)A historical account(around 900 words).

Describe the partnership history related to the field of health and social care, chose one particular aspect or era from this history and then explain how you would situate your Health and Social Care (HSC) organisation or a case study within that historical period, also from the perspective of any issues that might arise around values and ethical dealings.

2)A theoretical account(around 900 words).

Describe at least one partnership-related theoretical perspective and one model and then apply your understanding of these to your chosen HSC organisation, being it yours or from a case study.

3)An integration of your reflective journal for a better understanding and application of specific historical and theoretical material.(around 600 words).

Use your reflective journal to provide a more in depth understanding and explanation of why certain historical periods, as well as theories and models are important for our understanding of partnership work in health and social care.
