Unit SHC36 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care 2.2 How do you use care plans when applying person centred values A person and their needs should be at the centre of the support process. A carers role is to make sure that a person has every opportunity to state how they wish their needs to be met. This is especially important when the issues regarding the person are difficult or of a sensitive nature. Person centred working is about putting people in control of their lives, whether it be a new service user or a person who has been “stuck in the system” for many years. Most places will have a format (usually a care plan) for identifying needs such as: * What they are able to do independently * Personal Care * Nutritional Needs * Daily Life * Choice and Control * Risks * Medications * Work, leisure and learning * Physical and mental health It is important that everything is included in the care plan.
1.2 person centered values are important with care plans as Care planning is all about improving the lives of those who receive care. A person centered approach is fundamental to achieving high quality care, both for staff who implement care plans and for service users and their families who rely upon them. The emphasis must always be on the service user as an individual, with aspects of aspects of their unique qualities helping to inform the care plans, such as their life history, likes and dislikes, and experiences.

QCF Health and Social Care – Level 3 Unit 305 Promote person centred approaches in health and social care Outcome 1 1.1 Explain how and why person-centred values must influence all aspects of health and social care work. Health and social care should be based upon person centred values, and should be individualised, as this is a law requirement (Human Rights Act 1998, Health and Social Care Act 2012, etc.) The Principles of Care are a set of standards which form the foundation on which to build your practice. You need to be aware of why you must promote the values in your day-to-day practice; why you must consider the people you are supporting in promoting these values – their culture, their means of communication, their likes and dislikes, their family, other professionals you may be working with and also your colleagues. These are some of the principles of care: * Individuality * Rights * Choice * Privacy * Independence * Dignity * Respect If person centred values, which should be at the heart of all work in the health and social care sector, are followed as they should be, then all individuals should feel that they are being supported in accessing their rights.
It is important to be organised and have everything together, ensuring that they are accessible and that the individual knows where things are and how to call for help before leaving them. 5.2 In order to encourage the individual to keep their clothing and personal care items clean, safe and secure I would spend time with them, asking how they would like to keep their personal items, giving them choice, respecting their needs and wishes and helping to them to understand the importance of maintaining their personal appearance. 6.1 &

After discharge the patient is returned to better living circumstances. Aftercare is viewed as a dedicated team approach to creating a plan of physical and emotional wellness. 1.2.
Assignment 207 Understand person centred approaches in adult social care settings Task A Information leaflet Create an information leaflet about person-centred care, aimed at individuals who use the service and their families. The leaflet must include: Ai) A definition of person-centred values. The underlying purpose of “Person-centred values” is to ensure that the individual needing care is placed at the very centre of the decision making process about their life, the services and support they want and need. The individual should also be at the centre of the care provided. Aii) An explanation of it is important for why social care workers to work in a way that promotes person centred values.
Person centred values is about putting an individuals needs and choices first, respecting their privacy and dignity and giving that individual as much independence as possible. under this strict system, the person is always placed at the very centre of the planning of the care programme required, in that he or she will always be consulted and that his or her views will always come first. Therefore the plan is tailor-made to that particular person, and it should include all aspects of care, from the Social and Health Services, from that individual’s family and from the voluntary sector. Outcome 2 Understand how to implement a person centred approach in an adult social care setting. 2.1 Describe how to find out the history, preferences, wishes and needs of an individual.
From the time the project was introduced, organizational inertia was present in the way physicians responded to the changes that would be required to implement the new system. Board members had a lack of belief in the project and did not believe it could be done in 18 months. To help ease the anxiety over the implementation of the project, it would help for board members to see step-by-step plans for implementing the CPOE. It would also be beneficial to include any problems anticipated as well as ways to overcome them. Having a plan of action shows the board members that every aspect has been considered.
I am going to explain how the application of relevant principles and values will enable professionals to provide holistic support for individuals who use social services. (P1) Empowerment of Individuals Empowerment is enabling individuals to take responsibility for their own lives by making informed decisions, this is seen to be at the heart of the Care Value Basis and is important to make individuals feel respected and valued. Promotion of Choice Enabling vulnerable adults to make their own choices can make a massive impact on individuals in a positive way which gives them the independence that they feel they are entitled to, for example choosing what clothes they wear, what food they eat and what activities they take part in. Promotion of Rights All individuals in a health and social care environment have rights to confidentiality, choice and to have their individuality acknowledged and respected. Recognition of Preferences When providing social care support for vulnerable people, it is important to find out and recognize their preferences.
5.2 Describe attitudes and approaches that are likely to promote an individual’s well-being. Page 1 of 5 Unit Learning Assessment Questions outcome(s) criteria HSC201 1 4 1.1 Define person-centred values? Answer Person-centered care has its focus on the person with his/her condition and not on the disease in the person. We need to understand how the individual experiences his or her situation if we are to understand their behaviour and symptoms. This requires in-depth understanding of the individual’s life circumstances and preferences, combined with up-to-date evidence-based knowledge about individualized medical and social condition and treatment.
