How Do You Make A Person Centred Care Plan?

SHARE

If you’re a care provider, you need to ensure that your care plans are person centred.

People might also use terms such as patient-centred, family-centred, user-centred, individualised or personalised, but they all mean the same thing.

There’s no set definition of what it means to be person-centred with your care but for now, we’re going to run through the main principles and things to include in a care plan, to make sure it’s person centred.

The Health Foundation has identified a framework that comprises four principles of person-centred care:

affording people dignity, compassion and respect
offering coordinated care, support or treatment
offering personalised care, support or treatment
supporting people to recognise and develop their own strengths and abilities to enable them to live an independent and fulfilling life.
