5. Teamwork: It is about health service members and health system working together collaboratively in providing care to each patient to bring out best patient results. 6. Environments: Environments should be designed in such a way that it facilitates staffs to work in a person-centred way. 7. Inclusion: Patients’ family members, relatives, friends, and partners should also be included in the process of care and support as it fosters mutual relationships among them and also care outcomes. It is mentioned in McCance and McCormack (2016, p.) that McCormack and McCance first developed person-centred practice theoretical framework in 2006 and again more advanced in 2010. It was originated from earlier experimental study done on person-centred practice with old-aged people and the nursing care skills. The framework constitutes of following components. 1. Prerequisites: These are the characteristics of a health care provider like competency, dedication towards work, social skills, and understanding self and others values and beliefs. 2. Care environment: This includes appropriate proportion of skilled health workers, nurturing staffs connections, groups that work on the basis of distributed control and judgments and the probability for new ideas. 3. Person-centred processes: It focuses on providing care with holistic approach, respecting patient’s values and beliefs, and working in partners. 4. Outcomes: These are the results; patients well being, patient satisfaction, and a creation of a healing atmosphere. Person centredness is being implemented in delivering care to patients suffering from all sorts of conditions. In providing care to patients with long-term conditions, certain points are to be followed like care and support plann... ... middle of paper ... ...he care plan would be beneficial if it is designed by consulting with patients, their families, carers, paramedics, voluntary services and other health members. And anyone involved in the care should have the quick access (Lehos 2016). Patient experiences are equally important for better clinical outcomes. But many medical professionals are unaware about it. If the influences of person-centred care on patients were studied then, it would be of great help in improving patient’s quality of life, healthy outcomes, improved patient advice and support, patient satisfaction and also job satisfaction for health team members. Some patients have shared their experiences like they felt healthy when doctors and nurses talked to them as a person, and statements like nobody understood their body more than themselves, not even their doctors (Rasmussen, Jorgensen & Leyshon 2014).

The demand of a constantly developing health service has required each professional to become highly specialised within their own field. Despite the focus for all professionals being on the delivery high quality care (Darzi, 2008); no one profession is able to deliver a complete, tailored package. This illustrates the importance of using inter-professional collaboration in delivering health care. Patient centric care is further highlighted in policies, emphasising the concept that treating the illness alone whilst ignoring sociological and psychological requirements on an individual is no longer acceptable. Kenny (2002) states that at the core of healthcare is an agreement amongst all the health professionals enabling them to evolve as the patient health requirements become more challenging but there are hurdles for these coalitions to be effective: for example the variation in culture of health divisions and hierarchy of roles. Here Hall (2005) illustrates this point by stating that physicians ignore the mundane problems of patients, and if they feel undervalued they do not fully participate with a multidisciplinary team.
This essay will explain what patient centred care is, how nurses use it in practice, the benefits of using it, and the barriers that need to be overcome to be able to use it, and the key principles of patient centred care. It will explain how patient centred care enables nurses to communicate and engage with the patients in a more effective way, and how it helps understand the uniqueness of each patient, which helps professionals avoid ‘warehousing’ patients (treating them all the same). It will also demonstrate how this type of care can help maintain the dignity of patients when nurses carry out tasks such as personal care. The Health Foundation describes patient centred care as being a type of health system where patients take control of their own care.
Openness and effective communication between team members ensure each member is aware of their roles and responsibilities within the inter-professional team as well as the roles of the other members, and can reveal possible conflicts in interest, which can then be attended to before they pose risk of affecting the care and treatment of the patient.

Patient-centered care (PCC) is a health care model focused on actively involving the patient in all aspects of planning, implementation, and monitoring of care. It integrates respect for the patient’s needs, values and beliefs into the healthcare process. Important aspects of PCC are collaborative care, family-centered care, and comfort. PCC allows the patient to have autonomy and encourages active participation in making decisions regarding their treatment.
The Person-centred theory takes an approach which looks at personality and human relationships. Rodgers believed that those who are psychologically healthy are said to have ‘positive self-concept’ which is made up of three different parts: self-image, self-esteem and ideal self. Self-image is the way the individual sees them self for example how they see their own personal qualities or how they see their body image. Self-esteem is how the individuals feels for example do they feel they are valued by their family, friends or society. Lastly our ideal self is the way the individual would like to be for example healthier, more confident etc. Rodgers believed that by using the ‘core conditions’ the helper, in this case me, would be able to help the individual as much as possible I must show unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy. To promote unconditional positive regard I must help the individual accept themselves by treating him fairly, using polite and encouraging language despite his aggression towards our staff and not expecting too much from him in regards to his health improvements. To show congruence to the patient I was open, honest and sincere with him to allow him to gain my trust to allow him to open up freely in hope that he would feel more comfortable around me. I also encouraged the patient to become more confident in himself and help him to want to get better and create a better ideal self. To do this I gave him some motivation to get up in the morning and get washed and changed to help him feel fresher and in regards to his homelessness I tried my best to ensure we were doing all we can to get him in contact with the correct sources to change his living situations. By using the person-centred approach and the core conditions I could see a large improvement in the therapeutic relationship between me and Mr Grey as he was
Person-Centred Counselling established its origins in the late 1940 during a conference when Carl Rogers gave a talk entitled ‘New Concepts in Psychotherapy’. The summarisation of the talk resulted in the theory that the client in a counselling relationship should be at the center of the relationship and lead the counselling process. The Client, in effect became the expert on their life and/or problems. The fundamental belief is that an individual is capable of change, growth and fulfillment (self-concept). Person-Centred counselling looks at ‘the here and now’ and how to make changes that affect the future. Person-Centred Counselling generated a system known as the ‘Core Conditions Model’ which emphasized three key components: Empathy, Congruence and Acceptance.
The provision of patient/family-centered care, which assure safety and quality in the service, would have a team work approach as a foundation and underpinning. In a healing process or in the preservation of health intervene several factors, some of them are closely related with the environment. Healthcare providers constitute an important part of that environment, and definitely, communication with patients, families, and among themselves, have a significant impact on it. The environment would influence the patient’s perception of care, and the staff’s level of
2 With that being said, most health care facilities place an emphasis on coordinated and integrated interactions between the clinician and patient. This may include open communication, and shared decision making, ensuring that the patient is an active participant in his or her own care. Research shows that when a patient is treated with dignity and respect, and includes the family and caregivers in the decision making, better outcomes are to be reported.
Person-centred care is the treatment and care provided by any health service. This particular concept places the person at the centre of their own care and considers the needs of the individual and the surrounding family members. At the core of this concept is getting to know the patient as a person look beyond the illness and build a therapeutic relationship with both the patient and the surrounding family members and carers. Talking to the patient finding out what their preferences are to the care you’re providing. Working within the person centred approach you should be flexible Meeting patients' individual needs while respecting values, preferences and needs. ,making sure that you keep your patient informed about the treatment that they are receiving.
