Person centred care• This is a way of delivering health and social care that places the
individual at the centre of the activity.
• Rather than professionals deciding what is best for an individual, producing a plan and delivering the care, the individual is involved in every stage of the process.
• Examples• A service user may prefer the physiotherapist to attend on a day other
than Friday so that they can attend the mosque for prayers• An individual may need crèche facilities in order to attend counselling
for depression
• This approach to care considers the whole person, rather than just one or two needs. This is why its called ‘person-centred’.
Why do we need person centred care?• Health and well-being enable us to live our lives as we
choose – this might include everyday activities such as having a family, enjoying time with friends, and working.
• Person-centred care means providing care that supports people to achieve the health and social care outcomes that give them the best opportunity to lead the life that they want.
What do you see?
This film is based on a poem titled “What Do You See?”
It was found by nurses going through the possessions of an elderly lady who had died in the Geriatric Ward of Ashludie Hospital near Dundee, Scotland.
It follows a day in the life of an elderly stroke victim, who makes a silent but heartfelt plea for her caregivers to notice her.

3. How do you think she feels?
Duty of Care • This is a legal requirement for all health and social care workers
to provide a duty of care. This means that while a member of staff is on the premises, even if they are on their break, they have a responsibility to ensure the safety of the individuals who use the service.
• This can include things like, waiting to go for lunch until there are enough staff available to ensure the safety of the individuals using the service. It also means completing tasks to the highest possible standard so that individuals receive the care they need.
• A duty of care applies to all areas of professional practice, underpinning the delivery of health and social care. Without this, just like the house without foundations, health and social care falls down and individuals are placed at risk.
Care plans and codes of practice• A care plan is a document that records people’s needs and
explain how, where, when and by whom their needs are gong to be met. The are individual to the person for whom they are written. The caring activities they describe must centre on the person involved and their preferences for how care is given.
• A code of practice is a set of guidelines for professional behaviour that set out clearly the expectations of those who are working in a professional area.
• The codes (rules) are very important. People who work in social care have to go on a register (list). The General Social Care Council is in charge of this list.
Codes of practice• The codes (rules) are very important. People who work in social
care have to go on a register (list). The General Social Care Council is in charge of this list.
• The list is open to the public. People who are on the list have to promise to stick by the rules.
• If someone has done something which is against the codes (rules) the General Social Care Council may take them off the register (list) and they will not be allowed to work with people in social care again.
• All professionals will have their own code ofPractice eg. Nurses and midwives are on the NMC list(Nurses and Midwives Council)

• Using a computer/hand held device to research relevant questions
• Your care plan can be made on the computer or by using paper and pens.
• Read the questions correctly and answer the questions in the spaces provided.
