In this chapter we have introduced you to some key principles and concepts associated with person‐centredness. We have built on Chapter 1, which explored some of the key philosophical principles and especially the idea of personhood. In Chapter 2 we have illustrated why person‐centredness in healthcare practice needs to take account of individual personhood in the context of ‘all persons’. Person‐centred care is just one part of person‐centred practice and having a practice context that supports and actively enables these ways of practising is critical to success. Very few healthcare settings are either completely person‐centred or not person‐centred as it is a much more dynamic process than that. Person‐centred practice is continuously being developed and so it is rarely helpful to label individuals, teams or specific workplace settings as being person‐centred or not. This dynamic nature of person‐centred practice is also influenced by the workplace culture and how the qualities of the workplace help or hinder the continuous being and doing of person‐centredness – more about this in Chapter 3 and in many chapters in this book.
