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.
HSC026 - Evidence Unit 7 - Implement Person Centres Approaches in Health and Social Care. Define person-centred values. Person- centred values are about asking people what they want and providing practical ways for them to have choice and control in their lives, and having a positive approach.

Examples of rights: dignity,privacy, choice of diet, choice of dress, the chance to say own opinion, etc.
We can then use this information to involve the person in making more choices. -Another key value is to support people having their privacy if they want it. Privacy is a basic human need. Our need for privacy depends on our personality, interests and circumstances. As care workers we must respect people’s need for privacy whenever it arises.

Working in the Health and Social Care industry I think the most important thing is the service users and our health and social care workers and their happiness. The more I reflect and enhance my own knowledge the more effective the learning and training will be.
