Personalised care planning standards will help to enable people to manage their own care, with the support of a wide range of services including GPs, hospitals, occupational therapy and social care. This new standard will help citizens and health and care professionals get the right information when they need it, in order to personalise care, and improve the experience for the patient, their carer and their families.

ISN status achieved: Dec 2021

The Personalised Care and Support Plan (PCSP) Standard has now achieved ISN status following rigorous quality assurance by the NHS Data Alliance Partnership Board. 

NHS Digital has published the approved ISN along with supporting documentation. The ISN sets out details of the standard, its implementation date, whether it is mandated or voluntary, the legal or contractual basis upon which data is being requested and details of key contacts.

V2.0 was published to support adults who live with severe and enduring mental health conditions in the community. Co-produced with health and social care professionals, as well as people who use services, the standard is designed to help people stay well and live the best lives they can at home or in supported accommodation. Implementation of the standard is following a phased approach, identifying early adopters and publishing the results of trials to embed learning ahead of the planned full compliance date of 31st January 2024.
