Outcome 1 - Understand the application of person centred care approaches in health and social care 1.1 person centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work because Person-centered is about providing care and support that is centered or focused on the individual and their needs. We are all individual and just because two people might have the same medical condition, for example, Dementia and learning disabilities, it doesn’t mean that they require the same care and support. Developing a clear understanding about the individuals we are working with. Will help carers understand their needs, their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, their family and other professionals’ involvement so we can promote and provide person centered care and support. Person-centered values provide a foundation on which we can base and build our practice.
It enables individual's to recieve the care and support they need, in a person centered way and to be part of deciding the care that they will recieve. Person centered care is good pracitce and helps to ensure that the correct and agreed care and support is given to each individual. No individual is the a same and by having a person centered approach, it ensures that everyone is not treated the same, but in a way that respects their needs, wishes, preferences and values. Working to a person centered approach is essential in dementia care. It will help to maintain the individual's self-identity, self respect and dignity.
LEAD PERSON CENTRED PRACTICE QCF LEVEL 5 The concept of ‘person-centred’ care involves improving the experience of care and the belief that individuals should have more choice and control over the type of care received. This idea specifically focuses on key issues such as, listening to what people who use services have to say and treating them with respect. In delivering person centred care we communicate honestly, relating to each person as individual acknowledging different parts of their identity and focusing on what people can do, rather than what they cannot. This personalised approach to care assumes that people can take decisions about how their needs can best be met, provided that they have the relevant information and support required to do so. It also requires that service providers and practitioners understand the situation of the service user in offering flexible and responsive services.
UNDERSTAND THE PRINCIPLES OF PERSON CENTRED ASSESSMENT AND CARE PLANNING HSC 3020 It is important to take a look at the whole situation of an individual when planning and making assessments for care and support this includes looking at all the individuals life including family, friends, mobility, living accommodation, required support and needs, religion, nationality to eliminate any issues that could arise due to any of these individual factors and take them into consideration when making the final decisions with the individual about the care/support they require. During an individual’s assessment and planning process it is important that the individual is fully aware of what is happening throughout and happy with what is being organised for their care and support. If the individual is unable to act for themselves then their chosen advocate will be included in all the planning process. Being supportive throughout the process is important as the first opinion of the company will be with what the individual thought of how their planning and assessment was achieved and how well they were included in the decisions. Ensuring that the individual and or advocate are aware of what procedures of the planning/ assessment is happening and what the different outcomes of this may be.
Explain how own role and practice can impact on communication with an individual who has specific communication needs. Depending on the individuals specific communication needs, it is vital to manage the way you communicate, be it through sign language, verbal or by other means, to suit each and every individual. Some individuals rely on lip reading to be able to understand what someone is trying to communicate to them, to that you would face towards them making sure you speak clearly, this way it is easier for this individual to understand you. The same applies with all forms of communicating, if using sign language, make sure all hand motions are visable, if someone is hard of hearing, be sure to speak in a clear tone and at a volume that they will be able to hear. If you try to communicate incorrectly with a person with very specific ways of communicating, then it is possible to cause the individual distress, cause aggressive behaviour due to anxieties, give
Promoting independence means you will be able to have a personalised care plan and allow the individual to make informed choices by allowing them to view and be told of all of the available options to them as well as being able to discuss options with other professionals, this again links with promoting independence because the individual will then be able to once the decision is made include any changes or decisions into their care plan, by doing this the individual will be able to have a valued life to their standards because they will be able to state the type of care they wish to receive. Positive interactions can be immensely helpful to an individual’s well being by knowing the individuals care plan and being able to put your knowledge into place you are able to encourage participation in activities. Your knowledge of the individual will mean you will be able to offer the individual activies that they have enjoyed in their life’s e.g. watching sports or baking. It will also allow you to know in which way to approach the individual weather they prefer a quiet approach or are a chatty

FACILITATE PERSON CENTRED ASSESSMENT, PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND REVIEW UNIT; HSC 3020 1.1 It is important to take a holistic approach to assessment and planning of someone’s’ care and/or support. Holistic means to take into account every aspect of a person so for example not just their physical needs but how these needs affect them emotionally. This is exceptionally important as by looking at every aspect of a person’s needs I am able to provide them with the very best support and care planning that I can offer. 1.2 Whilst conducting a support plan with a tenant I support them to take the lead when planning any support needed. I do this by encouraging them to speak freely and asking open ended questions and leading questions such as “and how would you do this/that without support” and “how do you think you could manage?” I would ensure that the tenant was comfortable in their surroundings which in turn would put them at ease and enable them to talk more freely about any issues that they have enabling me to provide them with the best care and support.
These concepts would be leadership, putting the patient first, communication and improvement. An organizations leadership should be trustworthy and be readily available when their staff comes to them with any concerns or issues they have with the facility. This concept also coincides with putting patients first. The staff should make it there top priority to understand their patients need. A patient safety and satisfaction should be the staff main focus.
