What is Personalised Care? Why is it important?

Personalised care means people have choice and control over the way their care is planned and delivered. It is based on ‘what matters’ to them and their individual strengths and needs.

This happens within a system that makes the most of the expertise, capacity and potential of people, families and communities in delivering better outcomes and experiences.

Personalised care represents a new relationship between people, professionals and the health and care system that enables people to have a voice, to be heard and be connected to each other and their communities.

The Personalised Care Institute provides CPD accredited training in Personalised Care via free, short online courses for all primary care staff.  These include:

• Shared Decision Making

• Personalised Care and Support Planning

• Core Skills
