Blue Stream Academy is pleased to announce that a new Working in a Person-centred Way eLearning module is now available on the Dental eLearning platform, the Hospice eLearning platform, the Private and Urgent Care eLearning platform and the Aesthetics eLearning platform.

The Working in a Person-centred Way eLearning module has also been updated on the GP eLearning platform and the Health and Social Care eLearning platform.

What is Working in a Person-Centred Way Training?

In healthcare settings, most staff will benefit from training on how to work in a person-centred way. This includes not only clinical staff such as doctors, dentists and nurses but also administrative staff, receptionists, technicians, therapists, and anyone else who interacts with patients or service users. Person-centred care prioritises the individual's preferences, values and needs, so it's essential for everyone in the healthcare team to understand and embody this philosophy in their work.

Working in a person-centred way in healthcare means focusing on the individual's needs, preferences, and aspirations. It's important because it respects the dignity and autonomy of the person receiving care, empowering them to be active participants in their own care journey.

A person-centred approach fosters trust, improves communication, and enhances the quality of care by ensuring it's tailored to the unique circumstances and goals of each individual. Ultimately, it leads to better outcomes, greater satisfaction, and a more compassionate and effective health and social care system.
