INTRODUCTION
Health care systems and related organisations are considered as interdependent and most
complex entities, which are known to society. All healthcare professions without the good
interaction at different-different levels, suffer and fail to deliver required services (Hubley and
Copeman, 2018). In this regard, implementing person-centred practice into healthcare centres
help in taking better decisions regarding for care, by keeping patient needs at the centre. A report
is prepared on way to promote holistic approach within person-centred practice including current
policies and legislation required for the same. Along with this, reflection on own practices and
ways to develop professional skills for healthcare provision are also demonstrated.
TASK 1
P1 Process to promote holistic approaches to person-centred practices in a health and care
centres
Holistic Person Centred Practice refers to most essential aspect of medical and nursing
practice. This practice refers to a way of evaluating entire health status of an individual by
looking at whole, i.e. personal background, stress level, trauma, childhood or emotional
experience etc. for analysing problems related to well-being and make treatment plan
accordingly (Aoun, Hogden and Kho, 2018). Along with this, person-centred approach refers to
emphasis on personal needs of patients instead of health services. In this regard, Therefore,
implementing this type of practices aid professionals to provide high quality care and more
focused services to patients by emphasising on needs of them individually. In this regard, to
promote holistic approaches within person-centred practices, a number of steps needs to be
taken. It includes empowerment, where authority regarding with decision making to patients are
provided within healthcare organisation for planning their treatment procedure (Martin and
Manley, 2018). Furthermore, rights and responsibilities about patient’s rights are also informed
them during treatment, so that they can give better support to care takers, in planning their
treatment services. Another step includes appropriate principles that are trust, advocacy and
respect which states that healthcare professionals must be transparent and maintain trust with
patients during treatment. Furthermore, approaches that needs to be promoted within healthcare
settings while implementing person-centred practice are compassion, consent, competence, well-
behaviour and effective communication (Clifford and Doody, 2018).

During implementation of holistic person-centred care approach, it is also essential of
medical practitioners to apply medical and social models, as per situations. For example – A
person suffering from eating disorder problem requires an effective person-centred care, to
overcome from this disease (Chevalier and Buckles, 2019). Considering individual needs of this
patient, there are two different perspectives undertakes by applying medical and social models of
disability. In context with social model, this type disability originates through personal trauma
rather than personal impairment. This aspect depicts that a number of factors which may
contribute to eating disorder disability in given patient, such lack of family care, separate from
spouse, restrictions for being included in a particular community and more (Tobiano and et. al.,
2018). Therefore, evaluating and removing such barriers that faced by individuals, help care
takers in supporting patient for well-being. While another model i.e. the medical model considers
the impairments or any kind of differences within patient that lead to cause eating disorder
disability. This model states to adopt particular treatment to treat impairment of patient, where
his/her specific needs do not consider, during care-treatment (Yu and Sangiorgi, 2018). Thus,
considering both models, it has been evaluated that applying medical treatment will help in
providing physical well-being of a person. While social model taken under consideration the
patient's needs and include their rights as well as empower them to being included in making
decisions, regarding with mental and physical wellbeing.
P2 Way to adopt person-centred approach while planning and implementing a programme for
individuals require support
When planning to implement a holistic person-centred practice within healthcare settings,
it becomes essential for professionals to evaluate different ways to adopt such approaches. It
includes duty of care, that helps in considering the legal and ethical guidelines, while making
treatment plan as per concern of individual needs and preference (Green and Thorogood, 2018).
For example, in case of a patient of age more than 70 years and suffering from dementia, require
proper attention and support of care takers for well-being, to prevent himself/herself from any
harm. Similarly, another main approach hygiene and medications; better and equal opportunities
etc. could be applied to provide proper treatment and care to patient, by empowering them to
give proper support (Zwozdiak-Myers, 2018).
However, a number of challenges could be occurred in front of professionals when
implementing providing person centred care. It includes conflict between practitioners,
