About this course
An original SupportiveBridge course on working in a person-centred way: the values behind good care, how to find out what matters to each person, mental capacity and consent, comfort and distress, and how identity and self-esteem affect wellbeing.
Who it's for
Care workers, support workers, healthcare assistants, and anyone working in a UK adult social care setting who supports people day to day
What you'll learn
- Explain what person-centred values are and how to put them into practice in everyday care, including promoting dignity and respecting the relationships that matter to the person.
- Explain why it matters to find out a person's history, preferences, wishes and needs, why care plans must change when needs change, and how to support people to plan for their future wellbeing, including end-of-life care.
- Explain what mental capacity and consent mean, why capacity must be assumed unless there is evidence otherwise, what can affect a person's ability to consent, and the meaning of best interests decisions, advance statements and advance decisions.
- Recognise and reduce the factors, in a person's surroundings and in their care, that cause pain, discomfort or emotional distress, and make others aware when their actions are causing distress.
- Explain how identity and self-esteem are linked to wellbeing, describe attitudes and behaviours that promote a person's wellbeing, and know how to support identity and report concerns about wellbeing.
