Care and Support Planning is a continuous process based on conversations between the person and their health and social care practitioners. The purpose of a care and support plan is to learn what is most important to each person, how they want to live, and to ensure that their support is designed and coordinated around their desired outcomes.
Care and support planning is therefore a 'meeting of experts'. It brings together those with lived experience and those with technical expertise to identify all the issues, develop solutions and initiate actions. It builds on the person's assets and resources, ensuring they are in the driving seat of decision-making.
The outcome is a single plan, no matter how many conditions or issues have been identified, which will be reviewed regularly. This emphasises both that personalised care and support planning is a continuous process, not a one-off event.
While the plan is an important and useful document, it is the care and support planning conversations which is at the heart of this new relationship and way of working.
The questions on these cards help people to have different conversations. They are grouped in different colours:
- About me
- What do I want to change?
- What do I have?
- Ideas to action
-
