Personalised Care Training and Development News - February 2022
Personalised care means the planning and delivery of care based on what matters to the individual and their own strengths and diverse needs.
CLIC are here to provide the tools and training which will enable staff and volunteers across the Integrated Care System (ICS) to develop and deliver their Personalised Care skills whatever role they play in a service user’s journey.
Monthly focus - personalised LGBT+ care
As February is LGBT+ History Month, this month’s focus is around how we can improve personalised care for our LGBT+ service users.
“While LGBT people do generally have the same health and social care needs as the rest of the population for the majority of the time, the evidence shows that they do not always receive the same level of service as non-LGBT people and that they have poorer outcomes across many areas.”
