Course Profile: Managing Person Centred Practice (1 Day)
There is no doubt that practice, in terms of dignity and respect for service users has, over the past decade, improved. It would be wrong however, to assume that this is consistent. Recent reports evidence that there are a range of areas that require considerably more work to ensure that people receive the quality of services that they are entitled to. This course seeks to ensure that the concepts of Person Centred Principles and Practice are understood so as to ensure that staff are able to provide a service that is underpinned by dignity and respect.
