Prioritising person-centred care

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.

Neurodiversity in the workplace

In health and social care, where collaboration, empathy, and understanding are essential for delivering high-quality care, creating an inclusive workplace for all staff is not just a goal—it’s a necessity. Supporting neurodivergent team members is a crucial part of building a more resilient, innovative, and adaptable workforce, where everyone’s unique abilities contribute to collective success. 

In this newsletter, we share courses and practical resources to cultivate a workplace where diverse thinking styles are celebrated, and every individual’s strengths are recognised.
