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.

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.
For this reason, this document does not contain recipes, but rather tools to allow each individual, team and organisation to take the journey improve in the areas that are important to them.

2. As a carer it is your responsibility to support service users to express themselves. The way in which you can achieve this is by assessing their needs, access information regarding their communication needs, providing the appropriate support, aids or equipment, encouraging and motivating communication, working with others and by monitoring the effectiveness of that support. Without the appropriate support the individual would be unable to express their needs or how they are feeling which can lead to both emotional and physical difficulties. By fully supporting service users with specific communication needs you are able to support their rights.
The most important part of the plan is the outcome that the individual wants to achieve; the whole of the plan is geared to making progress towards these outcomes. One of the key ways in which care plans reflect person-centred values is that the service provider does not structure services around what the providers do in order for individuals to receive services. But instead, are structured around 'outcomes'- what the individual receiving the service as achieved. When planning for delivering service using person-centred values, we should think about their
Unit 1 Task 2 This booklet will explain to you how factors may influence communication and interpersonal interactions in health and social care settings.

Risk assessments should be regularly reviewed as an individuals health, independance and mental capacity can change. It is important to use an agreed risk assessment process as it allows you to evaluate any risks and possible consequences that may be involved in an activity or lifestyle that an individual wishes to partisipate in. It allows you to find other ways that maybe less risky and to record the alternatives.
The most important tools for effectively managing is indicating strategies for treatments programs of what is best for client services. The director’s part is having a thorough evaluation such as upgraded programs, and programs that will be implemented accordingly with specifications. An evaluation that can be helpful regarding the Consultation, and Education Department director’s situation, are the basics principles of an evaluation design. An evaluation presents new ideas for solving problems and identifies constraints that need to be considered. An evaluation defines what they need to know as well as when.
How does service availability affect access of care? Service availability affects access of care in several ways. Availability of service will assist in structuring individual’s immediate health needs, determine care facility and choose caregiver. Because care is tailored to meet specific individual need, overall health of patient is managed. For example, a patient may be in a care facility as a result of a chronic illness, other health needs will also be addressed.
