Person-Centred Practice in Health

Delivered by our Division of Nursing , Occupational Therapy and Art Therapies , the postgraduate portfolio that includes the Person-Centred Practice Framework reflects the burgeoning focus on person-centredness set within the contemporary context of health systems integration and the health and wellbeing agenda . This reflects professional and service needs , as identified by the relevant professional bodies , other stakeholders and policy drivers .
The Person-centred Practice Framework offers graduates and practitioners from different health and social care contexts , the opportunity to continue their studies by extending their knowledge , skills and thinking to advance person-centred practice with individuals , communities and populations .
We live and work in a multi-professional and multi-faceted health systems environment . The need to be cognisant and masterful when dealing with the concepts of research , enquiry , abstraction and unpredictability has seldom been so important . The challenge of promoting personcentredness in such an environment requires skilled and talented practitioners who can operate in advanced clinical , educational , managerial and researchbased roles .
