The art and science of delegation

Stonehouse, DP

Abstract

This article focuses on delegation and what this means for the support worker in their everyday practice. Support workers are now performing roles and tasks which even just a few years ago would have been unheard of. They are working in a wide range of clinical environments and liaising and working alongside professionals from different fields of expertise. Having work and tasks delegated to you, as well as delegating to others, is a major part of the support worker’s role; understanding how and when this should be done is key to successful delivery of quality care.
