Person-Centred Care | Level 1 | Online Training Course | CPDUK Accredited | Instant Course Access | Includes Assessment & Certificate | Instant Certificate Download.
Welcome to our 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.

What is person-centred care?
- Person-centred care is a way of thinking and doing things that sees the people using health and social services as equal partners in planning, developing and monitoring care to make sure it meets their needs.
- Person-centred care is not just about giving people whatever they want or providing information. It 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.
- Being compassionate, thinking about things from the person’s point of view and being respectful are all important. This might be shown through sharing decisions with patients and helping people manage their health, but person-centred care is not just about activities. It is as much about the way professionals and patients think about care and their relationships as the actual services available.
