Assessment: This is when a patient and a health professional have a discussion about the care and support the individual should have. This can be known as assessment of need. An example could be a doctor discussing with a patient about what type of care and support should be given to them, and what would be the right approach in treating the patient.
Barriers to access: There may be some barriers to access in terms of the assessment of need; this includes the specific needs of an individual. Individual preferences may cause as a barrier to access, for example a patient may request for a female staff instead of a male staff this could be because they feel much comfortable around female than male. This could cause a problem because there may be short of female staff available at that point of time. Financial could also be a barrier to access because even though the NHS if a free healthcare service in some cases it isn’t, for example cosmetic surgery, is not funded by the NHS which means that you will have to pay for their service. A barrier to access can also be geographical, which means that some individuals with a specific need may not have access to treat it in the location there in. This means that they will have to either go outside the country or within that area they live in to receive the treatment they require.
