The Personalised Care Institute is a virtual organisation, accountable for setting the standards for evidence-based training in personalised care in England. We are a collaborative organisation with more than forty partners from across health and care, working together to develop, assure and deliver high quality personalised care training and provide the first ever personalised care training hub for all health and care staff to access the very latest in personalised care training and development.
Why Personalised Care is Important
Personalised care is a partnership approach that helps people make informed decisions and choices about their health and wellbeing, working alongside clinical information. A one-size-fits-all health and care system simply cannot meet the increasing complexity of people’s needs and expectations, and personalised care gives people the same choice and control over their mental and physical health that they have come to expect in every other aspect of their life.
The idea of personalised care isn’t new, and many heathcare professionals already put personalised care at the heart of their work. However, 40% of patients say they weren’t as involved as they wanted to be in decisions about the management of their health care. The NHS Long Term Plan also confirmed that 2.5 million people will have access to personalised care by 2024 and the training of health and care staff is an important step to realising this.
