Person-centred care is a term that originated in the 1940s to create a holistic view of service users in care settings. In real terms, this means getting to know the person that is being cared for and tailoring what you offer to meet their specific needs. It is therefore now a key principle in current legislation and is part of the standards that have to be followed by all care professionals who work in the UK.
Our Person-Centred Care course intends to give you a clearer picture of what a person-centred approach for care and support looks like, as well as ways in which you can implement a person-centred approach into an adult social care setting.
It will look at the background of the term and analyse the values that are represented by person centred care. It will also examine why care should be tailored to individual service users and create an overview of care plans, daily reports and the importance of obtaining consent, amongst other things.
Our Person-Centred Care e-learning course is aimed at anyone working within the health and social care environment. It allows them to understand the concept of person-centred care and their role within it. As the course is run entirely online, it is ideal for those already working in the care sector as it can be completed at your own pace around your existing role.
Person-centred care is now a key factor of all health and social care in the UK and so it is important that it is understood by anyone working within the sector. Our Person-Centred Care online course offers a flexible and efficient way to study that. It breaks down all aspects into manageable pieces that are easy to understand. Quiz style questions at the end of each module can check your knowledge and help you identify any areas that you might need to review.
The course is CPD approved and so can be relevant for anyone in the health and social care sector to show that they are on the path towards continual professional development.
