Demonstrating Care Practice in the Community

This task aims to discuss a range of learning outcomes pertaining to care practice in the community, focusing specifically on the National Service Framework (NSF) for older people. The topic is discussed in parallel with the application of the minimum care standards and current policies that impact on older people as the specific target group for the care provision, as well as with the principles of practice in community care and the roles of formal and informal carers.Demonstrating Care Practice in the Community

The conceptualisation of the NSF is based on the notion that improving the quality of care necessitates specific standards to measure such care and that such standards are evidence-based in order to determine their effectiveness (Nazarko, 2004).
