New blog by Helen - Personalisation starts with a one-page profile

20 January 2012

I think personalisation has to start with a one page profile. A one page profile is a page of information about you and usually has three sections: an appreciation section about your qualities, what is important to you and support and help you may need from others. A one page profile reflects the balance of whats important to and for someone.

Historically, our health and social care services have emphasised what is important for people focusing on what it takes to keep them healthy and safe. Personalisation brings us back into balance. People are the expert in their own lives and we must know and pay attention to what matters to people and deliver support in the context of how people want to live their life. I have been thinking about what this could look like in schools, work and healthcare.
