Delivering personalisation in health and social care – An interview with Helen Sanderson and Jaimee Lewis
Helen Sanderson is Director, Helen Sanderson Associates and has written extensively on person-centred thinking, planning and community building. She co-authored the first Department of Health guidance on person-centred planning, as well as the 2010 guidance ‘Personalisation through person-centred planning.’ She was the expert advisor on person-centred approaches planning to the Valuing People Support Team.
Jaimee Lewis is strategic communications adviser to the Think Local, Act Personal Partnership, the sector-wide commitment to transforming adult social care that follows on from Putting People First. She has worked on communicating the personalisation agenda for several years, following her appointment as an advisor to the Department of Health’s individual budgets pilot programme in 2006.
Here, they discuss their new book, A Practical Guide to Delivering Personalisation, and explain what personalisation is and what it looks like; give some examples of how the tools in their book can be used in practice; and discuss why a person-centred approach to social care planning across all services, from mental health to end of life care, is the way forward – especially in difficult economic times.
