About the Person-Centred Approaches programme

This elearning supports the Person-Centred Approaches Framework, which was developed by Skills for Health, Skills for Care and NHS Health Education England. Both the Framework and this eLearning were created with input from people with experience of using health and social care services.

The scope of this eLearning is to introduce the behaviours, knowledge and skills for person-centred approaches, including the values, core communication and relationship building skills, engaging people and enabling and supporting people.

You will cover the core transferable behaviours, knowledge and skills for person-centred approaches, and see the application of these through the five stories
