Person centered relates to how we engage with each other, service users, carers and staff.
To create our Person Centred Framework we held 5 online focus groups with Tommy Whitelaw for service users, carers and staff to attend. The focus groups asked the questions:
- what matters to you?
- who matters to you?
Tommy also attended a Trust Engage session in February 2020 where we got ideas from colleagues and shared work already happening across the Trust.
Our Principles
Our principles align with and work to achieve the Trust's strategic priorities.
- We will ensure we treat everyone as unique individuals embracing the diverse needs of each other
- We will work together, respect and trust each other
- We will use feedback to improve care and use open questions to explore what is important
- We will listen to people's stories as they are fundamental to our learning
- We will be aware of what matters to us and who matters to us. We will encourage everyone to see their potential
- We will ensure we ask about people's strengths and make decisions together to instill hope.
