Personalised Care Plans

People with long term health conditions are expected to have a personalised care plan. Person centred thinking can form the basis of personalised care plans, to ensure that they are truly person centred.

Key elements of personalised care planning in long term conditions and personal health budget by Jo Harvey.

This work was facilitated by Jo Harvey of Helen Sanderson Associates, and began with a small workshop that included representatives from the Department of Health's personal health budgets delivery team and long term conditions team, the Year of Care National team, the Co-creating Health Initiative, Expert Patients Programme, Norfolk Coalition Of Disabled People and a personal budget user with extensive experience in social care support planning. This is not a DH policy document or a prescriptive guide to personalised care planning, but it is intended to offer a summary of learning from long term conditions, with the aim to provide a useful framework to pilot sites when approaching the planning of personal health budgets.
