Within this unit learners will look at the role of person-centred care in interactions with service users.
They will also consider other models of care delivery and their strengths and weaknesses in delivering
care to meet the needs of different populations of service users. Delivering high quality care is not
always easy and learners will examine the potential ethical issues that could arise and how these
could be dealt with.
Learners will develop an understanding of the difficulties of balancing individual autonomy and
minimising potential risk to vulnerable service users.
Learners will consider relevant health and social care legislation that impacts on both those delivering
care and individuals receiving care. The role of government departments and other agencies in
producing legislation and guidance and how this affects local policies, procedures and care delivery
will be covered.
