WHAT IS PERSON-CENTRED
CARE
AND
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Promote Person-Centred Approaches in Health and Social Care

7
What is Person-centred care?
An approach to care planning
and
support which empowers
individuals to
make the decisions about what
they want
to happen in their lives.
These decisions then form the
basis for any plans that are
developed and implemented.

person-centred care?

Person-centred care is a way of

thinking and doing things that
sees the people using health and
social services as equal partners
in planning, developing and
monitoring care to make sure it
meets their needs.

How do these values influence aspects of care
work and why?
10
Person Centred Values
Individuality
Each person has their own identity, needs, wishes, choices, beliefs and values.
‘One size fits all’ does not work when it comes to providing care and support

Choice
Each individual should be supported to make choices about their care and support

Rights
You should make sure an individual’s rights are respected, not only by yourself but
by other people involved in their care.
Privacy
Everyone has a right to private space and time when they need it. Privacy includes
the individual’s private information

Dignity
Treating an individual in a dignified way shows respect, values their individuality and
their ethical and moral beliefs. Do not make assumptions about their needs.

Respect
Believing and showing that an individual has importance as an individual. It involves
recognising that they have their own opinions and feelings even if you do not agree
with them.
Partnership
Working with the individual, their family and other workers. Successful partnership
relies on communication and trust; valuing and respecting what others have to say.
Multidisciplinary working

 Thismeans putting people and their

families at the centre of decisions and
seeing them as experts, working alongside
professionals to get the best outcome.

13
If you are being person centred, who are you working
with?
 The individual – someone requiring care or support.
 Families, friends, advocates. Those of importance to the
individual.
 Others around the individual – Team members and colleagues,
other professionals.
