A healthful culture is the outcome expected from the development of effective person‐centred practice. A healthful culture is described as one in which decision making is shared, relationships are collaborative, leadership is transformational and innovative practices are supported. The ultimate outcome is to develop a workplace that enables human flourishing. You can read about this in more detail in Chapter 5. This is a key factor in how healthcare is experienced and the extent to which the environment supports and maintains person‐centred principles has been shown to be critical to person‐centred practice. Use of the term ‘healthful’ reflects a broader notion of health in line with the work of Seedhouse (1986) that reflects living a positive life, which embraces all dimensions of our being. This is also more relevant from the perspective of staff where a healthful culture is one in which they are supported and enabled to maximise their potential in line with their values. Development of a healthful culture has the potential to create conditions that enable human flourishing for those who give care and those who receive care.
