WP5 (PCSP) Personalised Care and Support Planning – Why does it matter?

“Care planning is really important, because it allows you to understand the person better, really getting to understand what’s important to them, their goals, their wishes, and their priorities. And that really enhances how you provide care for them. Rather than off the shelf you can really personalise and tailor the care that you give them. And I think the health coaching elements of care planning are also just much more of a satisfying way of consulting rather than giving didactic advice … nobody really listens to didactic advice, but actually, if you can kind of structure it in a health coaching way, it’s not only more effective, but it just makes the whole interaction much more enjoyable for the clinician as well”
