Person centred practice (PCP) or more commonly referred to as person centred planning is based on the principles of inclusion and taking a holistic approach when planning the care service delivery. There are five key features of PCP;
The individual is at the centre of the plan.
The plan will identify what is important to the individual and identify the individuals’ strengths and what support they will require to achieve their potential.
The individuals support network are involved in the ongoing planning and reviewing process.
The plan will promote community participation for the individual.
The plan is a live document which is reviewed by all involved minimum every 6 months or when circumstances change.
The care planning, monitoring and reviewing of care plans are key aspects to working with individuals and care workers. In line with PCP key aspects must be adhered to including legislation and policy to ensure the individual is at the heart of the plan & review process. However we must remember not to get caught up in the planning and administration process its self, we must remember the true purpose of the care plan. Such example of this can be seen by a quote from a Service User;
“I don’t have a care pathway. I have a life.”
(Scottish executive, 2005:5)
Care plans must be done properly and all relevant parties
