INTRODUCTION
Reflective practice in health and social care refers to an activity under which an individual
appropriately and effectively reflects their own working and past experiencing while providing
care to patients in a healthcare setting (McCormack and McCance, 2016). On the other hand,
person centric approach is a method adopted by healthcare organisation, wherein they emphasise
on individual’s personal needs and consider them quite central in terms of treatment and care
process. This is a highly appropriate practice which is being followed by several healthcare
organisations throughout the world.
The report below is divided into three parts and it focuses on National Health Service, which
is one of the most prominent healthcare organisations of the world. The first part of the report
addresses promotion of a holistic approach to person centred practice. Moreover, the second part
of the report emphasises of reviewing current policies, legislations and regulations, in relation to
effective person centred practice. In addition to this, the third part addresses reflection of own
practice within health settings, moreover, exploration of ways to develop own professional skills
and behaviours.

P1. Comparison of how the medical and social models apply to person centred practice in health
services
Person centred practice is the one wherein patients actively participate in their own treatment,
along with emphasis on their personal desires, rather than fulfilling the carers’ own personal
agendas (McCormack, 2017). However, there are several medical as well as social models which
apply to person centred practice within health services like NHS and thus, they are required to be
appropriately compared.
In terms of medical models, one of the most evident frameworks is related to the ones
provided by Mead and Bower, known as five dimensions of patient centeredness. This
appropriately and effectively addresses several dimensions which apply effectively in patient
centred practice. Hence, these factors are discussed below effectively:
