Welcome to another MILE Pathway newsletter. In this week’s edition, we focus on culturally appropriate care—a vital element of health and social care that ensures individuals’ unique needs, preferences, and values remain at the heart of their care journey.

This online seminar is designed to help you implement effective workforce planning strategies, ensuring safe staffing levels and enabling your service to consistently deliver high-quality, person-centred care. Skills for Care will be running the seminar on 21st November, 18th December, and 14th January between 09:30am – 15:00pm.
What will this seminar cover?
In this week’s newsletter, we’re revisiting a core principle that drives effective adult social care: person-centred care. At its heart, person-centred care is about recognising that each individual has unique needs, preferences, and values, and ensuring that they remain at the centre of their own care journey. Here you will find a few resources and courses to help you create an environment that focuses on embedding person-centred ways of working throughout your service through care planning, personalisation and meaningful engagement.
Please also keep an eye out for our upcoming newsletters that will look into key areas of person-centred practice in more depth including culturally appropriate care and positive risk enablement.
