Personalised care

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG86 - People's experience in adult social care services: improving the experience of care and support for people using adult social care services

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

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 the person and their own needs, preferences and priorities. It treats the person receiving services as an equal partner, and puts into practice the principle of 'no decision about me without me'.
