Person centred planning (PCP) and care management
PCP is not an activity that is done to people by professionals, instead people themselves must lead it. This article explains the role of professionals - care managers - in responding to a more person centred approach, and outlines the 'five gear' approach to care management:
1. Gather information
2. Design service
3. Develop service
4. Solve problems
5. Review and learn
