The service user should be involved at every single stage of the process, including , implementing and reviewing the plan. Professionals and service users should be working together in a collaborative partnership.
A person-centred approach involves taking into account each individual’s needs, wishes and when planning how you are going to help them achieve their goals. As an example, considering a service user’s needs could mean thinking about whether they have any health or mobility issues, as these might make it difficult for them to carry out plans to improve exercise levels.
What should be included in health and wellbeing improvement plans?
The first step is to work out what an individual's health and wellbeing needs are, so that recommended can be outlined to health risks. For example, if indicators – such as the amount of alcohol consumed – show that an individual is at risk of liver damage, then an obvious strategy would be to reduce their alcohol .
Next, a health and wellbeing improvement plan should factor in the individual's wishes. This involves their way of going about making the changes. For example, for someone wanting to quit but retain the social aspect, the use of e-cigarettes may be the individual's wish over aids such as nicotine replacement therapy.
Finally, a person-centred approach is rounded off by accounting for the individual's circumstances. This includes a number of different factors, such as:
- – a younger individual might benefit from older adults sharing their experiences and how they improve their health and wellbeing
- Ability – is it within the individual's power to make lifestyle changes, or do changes depend on the influence of someone else, such as friends or family?
- Location – is the individual situated close to services, or do they need to far to access them?
- conditions – is the home environment conducive to making lifestyle changes, or does the health and wellbeing improvement plan need to be tailored around this?
- Support – how much external support will the person receive? Will this change the approach of the care provider?
- – someone in a poorer physical and/or emotional state will need a more intensive plan to make improvements to their lifestyle
