Course Description
What is Person-Centred Care?
The term Person-Centred Care was first introduced in the 1940s and emphasises taking a holistic approach to supporting individuals in care settings. This means truly understanding the person as an individual and tailoring care to meet their unique needs, preferences, and values.
Today, person-centred care is a core principle in UK legislation and care standards, and it is essential for all care professionals to adopt this approach in practice.
