Think Local Act Personal - Personalised care & support planning tool (May 2022)

Summary

Personalised care and support planning (PCSP) is a systematic process based around 'better conversations' between the person and their health and social care practitioners. The aim is to identify what is most important to each person for them to achieve a good life, and to ensure that the support they receive is designed and coordinated around their wishes. It's goal is to empower people to be the main decision-maker in their own care, and to arrive at one plan that encompasses all the person's care needs.
