The Power of Choice: We’ll look at ways to include people in planning their care, listening to what they want and letting them make choices.

Collaborative Working: Find out how to work together with care teams and families. This helps make sure care plans fit the needs and goals of the person getting care.

  • The SMART Approach: Discover the benefits of using a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) approach when setting goals within your care plans.
  • Clarity and Achievability: By using SMART goals, you ensure care plans are clear, measurable, and achievable, leading to better outcomes for individuals.

5. SWOT Analysis and Personal Action Planning:

  • Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT): We’ll examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) associated with person-centred care planning.
