Description
The shift towards prevention aligns with the Government’s personalisation agenda and a drive to encourage self management and self-care to shift some of the responsibility for health and social care from the state to the individual. The Government report No Decision About me Without me (Department of Health, 2012a) puts forward an ambition to empower patients to take more of a role in their own care, making patient choice central to decisions about treatment and care. Giving people access to appropriate information will be key to achieving this. The health and care workforce will have to be equipped to manage changing demand for service and increasing public expectations about care choices.
