Welcome to another update on ‘what’s new in adult social care’ showcasing some of the key courses and resources for social care leaders. If you missed last week’s newsletter on ‘prioritising person-centred care’ you can click here to access it now.
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.
