What does person-centred care look like in practice?

Every person experiences illness, distress, communication and support differently. Taking a person-centred approach means recognising those differences and responding with empathy, respect and understanding.

When healthcare professionals take time to understand an individual's unique needs, preferences and experiences, it can help build trust, reduce distress, support dignity and contribute to safer, more positive outcomes for patients and their families.
