Personalised care means you have more choice and control over the way your healthcare is planned and delivered.

Personalised care focuses on what matters to you, as well as your circumstances and preferences.

There are different aspects to personalised care:

Making the right healthcare choices for you: Working in partnership with healthcare professionals.

Patient choice: Choosing the right option for you.

Social prescribing and community support: Connecting you with help and support in your local community.

Personalised care and support planning: Designing your own plan, supported by healthcare professionals.

Personal health budgets: Managing your own budget and choosing the support you need.

Supported self-management: Supporting you to have the knowledge, skills and confidence to better manage your health.
