Healthcare Assistants are not only required to provide care in response to the needs of clients, but also to their preferences and goals. This is what we call person-centred care.
Person-Centred Care 1 will take you through the basic care tasks you need in your role as a Healthcare Assistant, whilst considering principles of person-centred care and how these apply within your practice.
Person-Centred Care
The nature of person-centred care makes it a difficult concept to define. This is because when we are truly person-centred, how this looks will be different in every situation and for every individual.
Rather than a definition, The Health Foundation (2014) have developed a framework identifying four principles, which capture and underpin person-centred care. Whatever care task we undertake; it should be done with these principles in mind.
