Professional Practice as a health and social care worker – Team working Ymarfer Proffesiynol fel gweithiwr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol – Gweithio mewn tîm

Within health or social care, multidisciplinary or multi-agency teams often work together. A multidisciplinary team consists of a group of health or social care workers and professionals who provide a specific service to individuals accessing services. They work together to provide the services that fully meet the needs of individuals using the service.

The purpose and function of different teams are varied. However, teamwork is always about having the same purpose and striving to accomplish a set of common goals and objectives to achieve that purpose. This could be, for example, to develop a new aspect of service delivery to meet the needs of individuals.

O fewn iechyd a gofal mae timau iechyd neu ofal cymdeithasol amlddisgyblaethol neu amlasiantaeth yn aml yn gweithio gyda'i gilydd. Mae tîm amlddisgyblaethol yn cynnwys grŵp o weithwyr iechyd neu ofal cymdeithasol a swyddogion proffesiynol sy'n darparu gwasanaeth penodol i unigolion sy'n cyrchu gwasanaethau. Maen nhw'n gweithio gyda'i gilydd i ddarparu'r gwasanaethau sy'n ateb anghenion unigolion yn llawn sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaeth.

Mae pwrpas a swyddogaeth timau gwahanol yn amrywiol. Fodd bynnag, mae gwaith tîm bob tro ynglŷn â chael yr un pwrpas ac ymdrechu i gyflawni set o nodau ac amcanion cyffredin i gyflawni'r pwrpas hwnnw. Gallai hyn fod, er enghraifft, i ddatblygu agwedd newydd o ddarparu gwasanaeth i ateb anghenion unigolion.

There can be many reasons for teams, and they can vary in their structure. For example, a team could be linear with a direct relationship between someone in a higher position and someone in a lower position.

Other structures include a lateral approach where working relationships exist between different departments on the same managerial or working level. Functional structures are where the relationship exists between specialist positions and other areas. The specialist will often have the authority to see that a line manager puts in place any of their instructions. In larger organisations such as the National Health Service (NHS), structures can be large and complex and are often divided into smaller teams or structures for each individual department within the organisation.

Gall fod sawl rheswm dros sefydlu timau, a gall eu strwythur amrywio. Er enghraifft, gallai tîm fod ar ffurf linol â chydberthynas uniongyrchol rhwng rhywun mewn swydd uwch a rhywun mewn swydd is.

Mae strwythurau eraill yn cynnwys dull gweithredu ochrog lle ceir cydberthnasau gwaith rhwng gwahanol adrannau ar yr un lefel reoli neu lefel waith. Ystyr strwythurau gweithredol yw lle ceir cydberthynas rhwng swyddi arbenigol a meysydd eraill. Yn aml, bydd yr arbenigwr yn meddu ar yr awdurdod i sicrhau bod rheolwr llinell yn gweithredu'n unol ag unrhyw gyfarwyddiadau a roddir ganddo. Mewn sefydliadau mwy, fel y Gwasanaeth Iechyd Gwladol (GIG), gall strwythurau fod yn fawr ac yn gymhleth ac fe'u rhennir yn aml yn dimau neu'n strwythurau llai er gyfer pob adran unigol sy'n rhan o'r sefydliad.

Common goals have been mentioned as a feature of teams. This is crucial to ensure the success of a team. If there isn’t a common goal with agreed actions and targets to meet that goal then people will all be working to their own agenda and the team will not succeed.

Positive and effective communication can help to keep team members motivated and working at their best. Communication is the biggest influence on an organisation. Good listening is integral to good communication. Empathy is necessary for teamwork to be effective; it is important to be open to the opinion of others and to understand their position on any issue raised. Having patience is important, because if we rush what we say, others may find it difficult to understand what is being communicated. It is also important to try to view problems and difficulties as challenges, and look at ways of overcoming them, rather than letting them become a major, ongoing burden.

Mae nodau cyffredin wedi cael eu crybwyll fel nodwedd o dimau. Mae hyn yn allweddol i sicrhau llwyddiant tîm. Os nad oes nod cyffredin gyda gweithredoedd a thargedau wedi eu cytuno i ateb y nod hwnnw yna bydd pobl i gyd yn gweithio i'w hagenda eu hunain ac ni fydd y tîm yn llwyddo.

Gall cyfathrebu cadarnhaol ac effeithiol helpu i gymell aelodau'r tîm a sicrhau eu bod yn gweithio hyd eithaf eu gallu. Cyfathrebu yw'r dylanwad mwyaf ar sefydliad. Mae gwrando'n dda yn hanfodol er mwyn cyfathrebu'n dda. Mae angen empathi er mwyn i waith tîm fod yn effeithiol; mae'n bwysig bod yn barod i dderbyn barn eraill ac i ddeall eu safbwynt ar unrhyw fater a godir. Mae amynedd yn bwysig, oherwydd os byddwn yn rhuthro'r hyn a ddywedwn, gall eraill ei chael hi'n anodd i ddeall yr hyn a gaiff ei gyfathrebu. Mae hefyd yn bwysig ceisio ystyried problemau ac anawsterau fel heriau, ac i ystyried ffyrdd o'u goresgyn, yn hytrach na gadael iddynt ddod yn faich fawr a pharhaus.

Teamwork is about working together to achieve common goals and objectives, all of which contribute to the well-being of individuals accessing services. For teams to be effective they need to have clear, shared objectives that contribute to the effectiveness of services. These objectives provide a framework for the team to measure progress, recognise potential risk and identify opportunities for collaborative working. This ensures the well-being of individuals accessing services.

Team working draws on areas of knowledge and competence from each member, enabling the needs of individuals accessing services to be met. Team members have two very clear roles. They must achieve the goals and objectives of the team, and they have to maintain effective working relationships with each other. These two aspects are interlinked because if the objectives are not met, this will put pressure on the day to day working relationships within the team and on the well-being of individuals accessing the service. Good, collaborative team working supports the achievement of workplace objectives, supporting quality care delivery.

Mae gwaith tîm yn ymwneud â chydweithio er mwyn cyflawni nodau ac amcanion cyffredin, y maent oll yn cyfrannu at lesiant yr unigolion sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaethau. Er mwyn i dimau fod yn effeithiol, mae angen iddynt sicrhau bod ganddynt amcanion clir a chyffredin sy'n cyfrannu at effeithiolrwydd gwasanaethau. Mae'r amcanion hyn yn darparu fframwaith i'r tîm fesur cynnydd, nodi risgiau posibl a nodi cyfleoedd i gydweithredu. Mae hyn yn sicrhau llesiant yr unigolion sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaethau.

Mae gwaith tîm yn defnyddio meysydd gwybodaeth a chymhwysedd pob aelod, sy'n golygu y gellir diwallu anghenion yr unigolion sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaethau. Mae gan aelodau timau ddwy rôl glir iawn. Mae'n rhaid iddynt gyflawni nodau ac amcanion y tîm, ac mae'n rhaid iddynt gynnal cydberthnasau gwaith effeithiol gyda'i gilydd. Mae cysylltiad rhwng y ddwy agwedd hyn oherwydd os na chaiff yr amcanion eu cyflawni, bydd pwysau ar y cydberthnasau gwaith o ddydd i ddydd yn y tîm ac ar lesiant yr unigolion sy'n defnyddio'r gwasanaeth. Mae gwaith tîm cydweithredol da yn helpu i gyflawni amcanion y gweithle, gan sicrhau y gellir darparu gofal o ansawdd.
