It is delivered when health and social care professionals work together with people, to tailor services to support what matters to them.
The four principles of person centered care

1. Treat people with dignity,
   compassion, and respect
2. Provide coordinated care,
   support, and treatment
3. Offer personalised care,
   support, and treatment
4. Enable people to recognise
   and develop their strengths and
   abilities for an independent and
   fulfilling life.
   

People can often lose their independence when they go into care, it’s important to always bear in mind that everyone using care services has their own thoughts, feelings opinions and needs.
These measurement includes:

• Making sure people are
  physically comfortable and
  safe.
• Considering people’s
  preferences and chosen needs.
• People’s values and putting
  people at the centre of care.
• Provide emotional support
  involving friends and family.
• Making sure people have
  access to the correct care that
  they need, when and wherever
  they need it.
• Ensuring people get all the
  information they need, in an
  accessible way for them, to
  make decisions for their care
  and support.

Many adults aged 65 and over spend, on average, 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down, making them the most sedentary age group.

They’re paying a high price for their inactivity, with higher rates of falls, obesity, heart disease and early death compared with the general population.

As you get older, it becomes even more important to remain active if you want to stay healthy and maintain your independence.

If you don’t stay active, all the things you’ve always enjoyed doing and taken for granted may start to become that little bit harder.

You may struggle to pursue simple pleasures, such as playing with the grandchildren, walking to the shops, leisure activities and meeting up with friends.

You might start to get aches and pains that you never had before, and have less energy to go out. You may also be more vulnerable to falling.

This can all lead to being less able to look after yourself and do the things you enjoy.

The price caps are intended to support trusts when they procure workers from agencies and to encourage staff to return to permanent and bank working. They should enable trusts to manage their workforce in a more sustainable way, reduce growing reliance and expenditure on agency staffing, raise clinical quality and improve the working environment for their staff.

Monitor and TDA recognise that trusts and foundation trusts need support to fill permanent positions. The Chief Nursing Officer for England and Health Education England (HEE) have developed workforce programmes for increasing the supply of staff in the short to medium term.

Monitor and TDA also recognise that trusts and foundation trusts need support to make the best use of their existing workforces. The price caps are intended to work alongside long-term planning to increase retention, training and recruitment of NHS staff, and ongoing support on workforce planning and rota management. Monitor and TDA will continue to work with trusts to better understand their approach to managing agency staffing, to benchmark them against best practice and support them to improve workforce management, including retention of substantive staff.

Please contact agencyprojectsupport@monitor.gov.uk or TDA.Workforce@nhs.net for more information on the support available.
