Personalised Care
Personalised care simply means that patients have more control and choice when it comes to the way their care is planned and delivered.
As the complexity and uniqueness of individual needs have changed and expectations towards healthcare have evolved over time, it has become apparent that there is a fundamental need for personalised care.
Personalised care represents a major practical change to the NHS and is a key part of the NHS Long Term Plan. It is a whole system approach that enables a variety of services across the health, social care, public health and community spectrum to be integrated around the individual in order to deliver better outcomes and experiences. It has also led to the creation of a range of new roles that further improve the quality of care that patients receive.
The value of personalised care is demonstrated through a growing evidence base showing improvements in health outcomes, better adherence to medical advice and increased satisfaction for both patients and clinicians.
The goal is for 2.5 million people to have benefitted from personalised care by 2023/24.
Personalised care training allows health care professionals to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills they need to ensure people:
are treated as a whole person by professionals they trust
are involved in decisions about their health and care
are supported to manage their own health and well-being, through health coaching, access to self-management programmes and peer to peer support in the community
feel their care is coordinated
