| Annotation | The conference included the launch of 'Person centred thinking with older people: practicalities and possibilities' (Helen Sanderson Associates, and the Older People's Programme, OPP), a book which offers ideas for promoting person-centred care to all older people. The Chair of the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) comments on the differences between what services offer and what older people say they want from social care. Personalised care is central to public services, personalisation being "the process by which services are tailored to the needs and preferences of citizens". To bring about "quality personalised care" requires transferring good practice from one area of care to another, and changes in how services are commissioned. (RH). |
