Person-centred care

Plain English definition

From:

Think Local Act Personal (TLAP) Jargon Buster

Think Local Act Personal

An approach that puts the person receiving care and support at the centre of the way care is planned and delivered. It is based around you and your own needs, preferences and priorities. It treats you as an equal partner, and puts into practice the principle of 'no decision about me without me'.
