The challenge of providing person-centred care

The concepts in PCC are not easy to articulate and can feel difficult to translate into everyday practice. The VIPS definition of person-centred dementia care attempts to synthesise the different threads of PCC whilst maintaining the sophistication of Kitwood's original theories. This can be summarised in the equation PCC = V + I + P + S. This equation does not give a pre-eminence of any element over another, just that they are all contributory. It also reminds us that we are providing care for very important persons (Figure 7.4).
