Know about person-centred approaches in health and social care.
Person-centred approaches are used in:
- planning e.g. asking the person what they need and their expectations, offering realistic solutions for them to choose from, taking account of their opinions
- delivery e.g. explaining what is happening, making sure the person understands and agrees with the plan
- reviewing care e.g. asking the person for their opinion of the quality of care, asking for suggestions on how to improve the care provided
Person-centred approaches can support the individual by building confidence and trust with the carer, respecting each other, know that their opinions are valued and will be acted upon.
