| Annotation | 'Doing' person-centred care never works, and a greater focus is needed on 'being' person-centred. The founder of Dementia Care Matters (DCM) argues that the 'S Factor' is the missing ingredient in care, where S stands for Special. He reflects on the concept of person-centred care as originally defined by Tom Kitwood in 1995, but that there needs to be more of an emphasis on "being" aspects to achieve it. (RH). |
