Report on the Gosport War Memorial Hospital case study. Word counts 2,250 Harvard Referencing ASSIGNMENT QUESTION Task: Write a report of 2250 words answering the question below. Gosport War Memorial Hospital Case Study In June 2018, the former health minister, Jeremy Hunt, apologised to the families of 456 patients who had lost their lives due to medical malpractice at Gosport War Memorial Hospital in the 1990s. The 456 elderly patients were given opioid drugs which resulted in them losing their lives. The opioids were prescribed by Dr Jane Barton throughout the 1990s. Consultants knew about the practice but did not intervene. Nurses and pharmacists also knew that something was not right but did as they were instructed to do. In 1991, senior nurses brought the matter to the attention of the Royal College of Nursing but were advised not to take the matter any further. In 2009, Dr Barton was brought before the General Medical Council (GMC) facing disciplinary action. She was found guilty of serious professional misconduct however she was not struck off the register, though she retired soon after. The families of those who died have been fighting for over 20 years to bring the doctor and those who did not stop her to justice by facing criminal charges.

Prior to your field education experience, you completed an agency learning agreement that outlined potential goals and objectives related to social work practice skills that you sought to acquire during this course. Like a contract, your agency learning agreement also provided your field instructor a set of criteria that would measure your social work practice skills. For this course, you will undergo a formal evaluation of your social work practice skills. As you engage in future field education experiences, you will be able to refine and hone the development of those skills. For this Assignment, review your agency learning agreement and the results of your midterm evaluation. Consider how your field education experience fulfilled the goals and objectives in your agency learning agreement. Reflect on what you would like to gain in future field education experiences. Note: You should receive your midterm evaluation from your field instructor. The Assignment (2-4 pages):Compare your learning agreement and your evaluation to critically consider how the two are compatible and how you may approach completing the learning agreement differently next term. Describe the social work practice skills you developed. Describe potential areas where you might need improvement in relation to social work practice skills, ethics, or professionalism. Explain how your next field education experience might address those areas. Explain how participation in this course might inform your future field courses, what will you do the same, what will you do differently. Be sure to submit the results of your evaluation to this assignment

Interview top local member of management at the internship site to determine how this leader manages her particular area as well as her basic management philosophy

The purpose of this assignment, and one of the goals of the course, is to get you thinking about ethics as they
relate to yourself and the work you seek to do in the criminal justice system. This assignment provides you an
opportunity to engage in personal self-reflection about your (current and/or potential) role within the criminal
justice system. This will require you to think about ethics as located in the individual, institutional, and
collective and think that ethics is conceived of (in Foucaults terms) as where the self and the collective meet.
The official codes of conduct and rules of professional responsibility are found at the level of the institution and
serve as the floor for professional ethics. As students, you must gain an understanding of your own personal
foundation used to walk on this floor, as well as how the collective sentiments and values and conflict between
groups in society construct the floor. It is your personal foundation that ultimately makes a difference in your
ability to comply with the rules, to question these institutional and collective rules, and support them or choose
to move them change. This is related to your ability to find personal and professional satisfaction and
fulfillment in criminal justice professions. Further, it is an opportunity to imagine and create an aspiriational
structure that will hopefully house your professional growth.
This assignment can be divided into four parts with an introduction and conclusion:
One:
Two: This section is concerned with values in the institutions of criminal justice. (a) In class, we discussed
various types of the value of justice. Identify and discuss the summon bonum, the core value or type of justice,
of the CJS. Identify how other values of justice intersect or question the summon bonum. (b) Identify a specific
area of the criminal justice system you desire to work in & the values underpinning principles of action in that
area. These can be diverse. (c) Link the summon bonum of the system (identified in part (a)) with the values of
the area you specified in part (b). Are there conflicting values & if so, what values are in conflict? This section
should be approximately three pages.
Three: Discuss the connections between your personal values and what you have declared to be the
foundational values of the CJS in Part One and the area you desire to work in identified in Part Two. Identify
where they interconnect and where they contradict. This description should also include a discussion of your
motivation for becoming a criminal justice professional. In doing so you will draw on the terminology of ethics
(values & their ranking, choice, responsibility, conduct etc) discussed in class and in the textbook/reading. In
this section also include a brief description about what you plan to do when confronted with an ethical dilemma
and how a hierarchical raking of values is necessary to solve it. This should be between three and four pages.
The final part of the assignment asks you to construct a personal mission statement that captures who you are
and how you will strive to work and live as a criminal justice professional. This should include examining or
constructing some guidelines/principles for establishing boundaries with those involved in the criminal justice
workplace such as clients, coworkers, the public, and political bodies that govern the CJS. This should be about
a half to one full page.
