Person-centred care is the idea that the healthcare professional shifts their focus from routine tasks and processes to the individual needs of the patients. It has been highlighted as the cornerstone of high quality care. But whilst few practitioners intend to work in a non-person-centred way, for reasons such as priorities, organisational policies, workplace culture and resources, a person-centred approach can be very difficult to achieve.

This book provides a practice-focused exploration of how the ideas of person-centeredness can be developed and incorporated in to everyday practice:

- It forms each chapter around an engaging case study, with examples from adult and child health, mental health, learning disabilities and many more.

- It introduces the theoretical basis of person-centred care, including the benefits it has for working environments, staff and patients.

- It demonstrates how meaningful practice development partnerships can be made with patients, including who to involve and how to involve them.

- It takes the reader through the steps of developing a person-centred ethos- from encouraging people to participate in the development, to evaluating the progress and sustaining it in the long run.

With clear and accessible guidance through the use of chapter overviews, key points, activities and web-based resources, this is an important book for anyone interested in developing a person-centred approach to care.
