Person-centred values form the foundation of quality care, placing the individual's interests at the forefront of every decision and action we make. These values include individuality, independence, privacy, partnership, choice, dignity, respect, and rights. Let's delve deeper into each of these values in the context of health and social care. Individuality - No two people are the same. Each person possesses a unique identity, with their own needs, preferences, beliefs, and values. A 'one size fits all' approach is ineffective in providing quality care and support. Rights - The Human Rights Act 1998 outlines the rights of individuals in the UK. These include the freedom of expression, safety from harm, and respect for dignity and equality. As a carer, it is essential to respect an individual's rights, and ensure others involved in their care do the same. Privacy - Privacy is fundamental, with everyone deserving of their own private space and time. This value directly impacts how and where care and support are given, especially regarding personal hygiene or intimate procedures. Protecting an individual’s private information is also paramount; sharing should only occur with their permission and on a need-to-know basis to enhance their care and support. Choice - Individuals should be empowered to make choices about their care and support. They should receive information in a format they can comprehend, allowing them to make informed decisions. If they can't express their desires verbally, it's important to find alternative communication methods. Training and supervision can be helpful in developing these skills. Independence - Promoting independence involves acknowledging what an individual can do for themselves and empowering them to maintain this autonomy. This doesn’t mean leaving someone to manage alone, but rather agreeing to the support they need and desire. Dignity - Treating someone with dignity means acknowledging and respecting their individuality, as well as their ethical and moral beliefs. Delivering dignified care requires an open, positive attitude. Be patient, avoid assumptions, and consider how personal care could impact their dignity. Respect - To respect someone means recognising their importance as an individual. They have their own opinions and feelings, and even if you don't agree with them, it's essential to respect them. And finally, partnership - Working in partnership involves engaging the individual and their family, and collaborating with other caregivers. Effective partnerships hinge on good communication and trust, placing value on everyone's input.
