Traditional models of professionalism promoted professionals as experts in positions of power who practised in a culture that was largely paternalistic (Whitehouse 2015). In the current healthcare climate, people increasingly demand that their voices are heard in a negotiated partnership where decision making is shared (Department of Health 2010). This shift towards person‐centred approaches is reflected in global healthcare policy (World Health Organization 2015). The Person‐centred Practice Framework supports this position and advocates that health and social care professionals engage authentically, working with people's beliefs and values to place the person at the centre of the care experience. In order to achieve humanistic approaches to care delivery, it is essential that contemporary health and social care professionals can articulate and enact person‐centred professional practice (Dalton et al. 2015).
