Person-Centred Practice in Social Care and Health Services
Unit aim
The aim of this unit is to introduce the
learner to research, theories, models,
legislation, regulation and policy that
inform and influence the requirement to
lead and manage person centred practice
in social care and health services.
What is person centred practice ?
Discussion:
•
What words come to mind when you think
about person centred practice?
•
Why are we learning about person centred
practice at the start of a leadership and
management in social care and health award?
Social Care Wales Code of Professional
Practice for Social Care (2017) definition of
person centred working
Approaches and ways of working that
fully recognise the uniqueness of the
individual and establish this as the basis
for the planning and d
elivery of care.
Brooker (2007, p13) discussion of
person centred care (practice)
This is discussed in the context of dementia but the
principles are applicable to any area of social care and
health – the VIPS model
V
– Value base (principles and worth of something)
which asserts the absolute value of human life
regardless of age or cognitive (thought processes)
ability
I
– individualised approach recognising uniqueness
Brooker (2007, p13) discussion of person
centred care (applicable to practice)
P
– Understanding the world from the
perspective of the individual accessing and
using services
S
– Providing a social environment that
supports psychological needs (psychological –
mental and emotional)
Discussion
How are we unique?
Describe some of our
characteristics and experiences
that make us different.
•
A theory can be defined as an interpretation (understanding) of
phenomena (experiences, events or happenings).
•
Theories seek to generate an understanding of why or how
something is experienced but they are not absolute (fixed)
because they can be rejected or modified (adapted) (Teater,
2014; Parahoo, 2014).
•
Context is the background, circumstance or framework of
something.
Introduction to the theoretical context
that underpins person centred practice
Therefore a theoretical context is:
The theories (and models) that
influence our thinking on why and
how person centred practice in
social care and health should exist.
Introduction to the theoretical context

Introduction to the theoretical context

The National Assembly for Wales is the democratically elected

Some law making is devolved (e.g. in relation health and social
welfare) enabling the Welsh Government to make laws but
other law making (e.g. welfare, benefits and social security)
remain with the UK government.
•
A context is the background, circumstance or framework of
