PATIENT CENTRED CARE

So, My Black Cat, are you telling me Skills for Health could turn us both into competent Reiki practitioners?

Yes?

Skills for Health, seems to be the epi-centre of the competency culture. It addresses the UK skills deficit outlined in the Leitch Report. This report is mentioned several times throughout their website.

This is the place where you can do a “Competence Search”, “Map Competencies”, “Create Competence Clusters” and use “Competence Application Tools.”

You can do NHS KSF Competence Mapping

And, yes, NHS staff can be trained in Reiki and their competencies can be mapped.

REIKI WORKFORCE COMPETENCE TRAINING

Here are the various stages:

“1. Evaluate and process requests for Reiki (CHR1)
2. Assess the client for Reiki (CHR2)
3. Plan Reiki with the client (CHR3)
4. Provide Reiki (CHR4)
5. Evaluate the effectiveness of Reiki (CHR5)
6. Enable the client to practice and use Reiki related self-treatment (CHR6)
7. Evaluate the effectiveness and use of Reiki related self-treatment (CHR7)”

For example: An competent individual in CHR1 above will need to acquire the following skills:

“A Professional standards and codes of practice

K1 a working knowledge of the professional standards and code of conduct for your discipline
K2 a factual knowledge of the role of the professional body setting the rules and ethics of your discipline
K3 an in-depth understanding of the rules, ethics and codes of conduct of your profession and how they apply to your own practice
K4 a working knowledge of why it is important to keep your understanding of professional rules and codes of conduct up to date
K5 a working knowledge of how to balance your own responsibilities as a professional with any contractual or other requirements of any organisation within which you work
B Legislation
K6 a factual knowledge of current relevant health and safety legislation and how it applies to your own work role
K7 a factual knowledge of legislation relating to obtaining, storing and using information and supplying services and how it applies to your own work role
K8 a factual knowledge of the importance of keeping your understanding of legislation up to date
K9 a factual knowledge of how relevant legislation impacts on your own work
C Employment and organisational policies and practices
K10 a factual knowledge of the roles and functions of the principal agencies with whom you work”

And so on to K123.

K123 states:

“a factual knowledge of red flag symptoms (i.e. symptoms of conditions requiring immediate medical aid and/or notifiable diseases)”

All of this is quite a lot to learn, My Black Cat.

And a lot to forget too.

And this is only the first part.

How often do these competencies have to be reassessed to ensure they have not been forgotten with time.

You didn’t look into that?

Come on, My Black Cat, you should have. Without practice, competencies dwindle. They become a “moment in time phenomenon.”

Some day I might tell you about my brick laying competencies as an example of a moment in time competency phenomenon.
