The importance of providing people with information and support for self care means that personalised care planning is seamlessly linked to other Department of Health policies and commitments, in particular Your Health, Your Way (formerly called the Patients’ Prospectus), the Evaluation of Information Prescriptions and the Generic choice model for Long Term Conditions.
Health and social care professionals need to support people and their carers in having their say and in order for them to be equal partners in the care planning discussion. A more empowering and less paternalistic approach is required. The health and social care workforce therefore needs support to develop the skills, approaches and behaviours to deliver personalised care.http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/@dh/@en/@ps/documents/digitalasset/dh_114950.pdf
