Unit 2, equality, diversity and rights. The Care value base essay. What is the care value base and how does it lead to empowerment?

In a clinical environment, person centred care is an essential approach in order to achieve the best outcomes for the patients individual needs. Person centred care involves taking a holistic approach to healthcare in which multiple factors such as age, beliefs, spirituality, values and preferences are taken into consideration when assessing, treating and caring for a patient (Epstein & Street 2011). It enables the patient to have a more interactive and collaborative approach in their healthcare, share responsibility and maintain their dignity and values. It involves a bio-psychosocial perspective to healthcare as opposed to a biomedical attitude. In order to provide patient centred care, the clinician needs to consider the individual’s needs
