Person-Centred Care undermined by Inadequate Training

According to Supporting People: Towards a person-centred approach, a book launched this week by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, a lack of funding and inadequate training are ‘blighting’ person-centred care.

Appropriate training is key to implementing a true person-centred approach.  Personal Care Consultants offers a range of training courses which effectively introduce the change in culture required to bring about true person-centred care and equip trainees with the practical skills needed to implement these changes successfully.
Our Enablement and Rehabilitation Skills training is a practical course introducing the shift from ‘care’ to ‘enablement’ for support workers.

Our Person-Centred Planning training course for health and social care workers introduces the values and principles of person centred planning.  This course introduces the person centred approach and follows it from initial assessment through to outcome focussed care planning.

Our outcome focused care planning course can be used a follow up to Person Centred Planning or as a stand alone training course for those staff involved in writing care plans for service users.  The course develops awareness of the outcomes users and carers consider important.

Telephone us now on 01244 390677 to discuss your training requirements.  Alternatively e-mail training@thecareplan.com.
