What is person-centred care?
Person-centred care is an approach that integrates a patient’s personal experience of health and illness with clinical expertise, treating the whole person rather than just the disease.

Key principles include listening to the patient, respecting their beliefs, shared decision-making, involving them in care planning, and considering their social and psychological context.
What is the role of shared decision-making in person-centred care?
Shared decision-making ensures that patients are active participants in their treatment choices, based on evidence, time for reflection, and their personal values.
Name a model that supports the idea of person-centred care.
The biopsychosocial model, which addresses biological, psychological, and social dimensions of health.
What are the benefits of person-centred care?
Benefits include improved health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction, better treatment adherence, reduced stigma, and a more holistic healing experience.
