Essay title: A case study considering person centred care approaches.

Making use of a case study, provide an essay that illustrates and evaluates person- centred care. Your essay should include relevant theory and legislation.

The main objective is to apply approaches of person-centred care and integrated working to the case study using a range of interventions and supported theory.

Intervention and supported theory could be:

• Collaborative Care Planning
• Shared Decision Making
• Supported Self Care Management
• Social Prescribing
• Better Conversations
• Health coaching/Motivational Interviewing

Using theory/sources/journals/websites, analyse personal-centred care and approaches to achieve positive outcomes. Question what the strengths and weaknesses in personal centred care approaches are.

Your critical thought processes on personal centred care and integrated working should be demonstrated in the written assessment.

Consider: The different types of illnesses, care, approaches to care. 

• Legislation and theory: is this helpful, does it inform practice, does it work, what are the strengths and weaknesses?
• How effective is integrated working to achieve positive outcomes. Are there barriers to integrated working?
• What are the challenges for individuals and care providers?
