Person Centred Care Planning

Enhance the way you plan and deliver care with this Person Centred Care Planning training course, designed for health and social care professionals across a wide range of settings. This practical course focuses on putting the individual at the heart of care, ensuring that support plans reflect their needs, preferences, strengths, and goals.

Person centred care is a fundamental principle within modern care practice. It ensures that individuals are treated with dignity and respect while being actively involved in decisions about their care and support. This course helps staff move beyond task based care and develop meaningful, personalised approaches that improve outcomes and quality of life.

Ideal for care environments such as residential homes, supported living, and community services, this training provides the tools and confidence needed to create clear, effective, and compliant care plans that truly reflect the individual.

Training can be delivered at your workplace or at our dedicated training room in Yeovil, Somerset, offering a flexible and professional learning environment.

What this course offers

This course provides a clear understanding of person centred care planning and why it is essential in health and social care. Learners will explore how to gather information effectively, involve individuals and their families in the planning process, and ensure care plans are meaningful and up to date.

Participants will learn how to write clear, accurate, and person centred care plans that reflect individual needs, preferences, and outcomes. The course also covers the importance of reviewing and updating plans regularly to ensure they continue to meet changing needs.

A key focus is placed on communication and collaboration, helping staff work effectively with individuals, families, and other professionals. Real life examples and practical activities support learning and ensure participants can apply their knowledge confidently in the workplace.

Why this training matters

Person centred care planning is essential for delivering high quality care that meets individual needs and improves wellbeing. Without effective care plans, there is a risk that support becomes generic, inconsistent, or not aligned with the individual’s wishes.

This course helps organisations meet regulatory expectations while improving the quality and consistency of care. It supports staff in creating clear, accurate documentation that reflects best practice and demonstrates a commitment to person centred care.

For learners, it builds confidence in care planning, improves communication, and supports better outcomes for individuals by ensuring their voice is central to every decision.
