Person-Centred Care

This is a support related term that means considering every person with a disability as an individual. I have delivered this presentation at care agencies to an audience of support workers, where I use my time to encourage them to give full consideration to their clients’ individual needs.

I am passionate about this topic because it is what allows me to have so much freedom and choice in my life. I discuss many areas of my life from personal care to manual handling to socialising in the community, always emphasising that my needs are distinctly my own and not from a set mould.

All healthcare providers should have full recognition of the
importance of this topic.
