What are we going to do about it?
Personalised Care can be used within all health and care settings by supporting people to stay well and building community resilience, enabling people to make informed decisions and choices when their health changes through:
- Shared decision making.
- Personalised care and support planning.
- Enabling choice, including legal rights to choose.
- Social prescribing and community-based support.
- Supported self-management.
- Personal health budgets and integrated personal budgets.
How will we know that we have made a difference?
In County Durham we have a commitment to ensure that our workforce is trained to provide personalised care, to increase the number of services that have changed how they work to incorporate this approach, and to work with patients and communities on identifying what works for them and their families.
