Reader reviews for Developing Person-Centred Practice: A Practical Approach to Quality Healthcare

From the publisher

This textbook provides a practice-focused case study based exploration of how the ideas of person-centeredness can be developed and incorporated in to everyday practice. This how-to guide supports person-centred care and reflects the challenges of implementing and pursuing this practice to make it a reality in healthcare. With clear and accessible guidance through the use of chapter overviews, key points, activities and web-based resources, this is an important book for anyone interested in developing a person-centred approach to care.

Students taking nursing, midwifery, and health and social care programmes will find this extremely valuable reading as they learn to develop person-centred practice, as will experienced practitioners seeking to deliver the very best care possible.

From the rear cover

Person-centred care is the idea that the healthcare professional shifts their focus from routine tasks and processes to the individual needs of the patients. It has been highlighted as the cornerstone of high quality care. But whilst few practitioners intend to work in a non-person-centred way, for reasons such as priorities, organisational policies, workplace culture and resources, a person-centred approach can be very difficult to achieve.

This book provides a practice-focused exploration of how the ideas of person-centeredness can be developed and incorporated in to everyday practice:

- It forms each chapter around an engaging case study, with examples from adult and child health, mental health, learning disabilities and many more.

- It introduces the theoretical basis of person-centred care, including the benefits it has for working environments, staff and patients.

- It demonstrates how meaningful practice development partnerships can be made with patients, including who to involve and how to involve them.

- It takes the reader through the steps of developing a person-centred ethos- from encouraging people to participate in the development, to evaluating the progress and sustaining it in the long run.


With clear and accessible guidance through the use of chapter overviews, key points, activities and web-based resources, this is an important book for anyone interested in developing a person-centred approach to care.
