Person-Centred Care - Level 1 - Online CPD Course
Person-Centred Care - Level 1 - Online CPD Course.
Welcome to The Mandatory Training Group's online Person-Centred Care training course for front-line healthcare and social care providers. All our online training courses, programmes and qualifications are accredited by the CPD Certification Service (CPDUK).
Simply put, being person-centred is about focusing care on the needs of the person rather than the needs of the service.
Person-centred care is about considering people’s desires, values, family situations, social circumstances and lifestyles; seeing the person as an individual and working together to develop appropriate solutions.
So as health and social care workers, we have to be flexible to meet their needs, and we have to make our system suit them, rather than the other way round.
