Abstract
Person-centred care involves nurses working in partnership with patients to ensure their needs and preferences are at the centre of their healthcare, as well as considering the biographical and social factors that are relevant to the person’s health. This aims to support patients in developing the knowledge, confidence and skills to make informed decisions about treatment and to manage their own care where possible. This article discusses the concept of person-centred care and considers some of the facilitators and barriers that may affect its implementation in healthcare practice. It also explores some of the approaches that nurses can use to support person-centred care, such as cultural humility and role modelling
