Personalised care is about you having more choice and control around the support you receive to live a healthy and comfortable life. Your care is based on ‘what matters’ to you and your individual needs, skills and interests.
Practitioners will work with you, and those close to you, to decide what you need to achieve a good life. Choice plays a big factor in everyday life, and that should be no different when it comes to decisions about the support you receive. You are supported to understand the options and work together to make decisions about what will help you to manage your health and wellbeing.
You are seen as a whole person, which means that the help you receive to live a healthy and independent life, may extend beyond healthcare alone.
