Sarah McCarty, chief executive of Social Care Wales, on why proper communication with patients is so important
-
SOCIAL care services in Wales are established on principles that focus on empowering us all as citizens to live the lives that matter to us.
That means making sure we have a voice and control, and that services work with us to respond to our, or our family's, care and support needs.
To do this well, it means we need to support everyone to be able to communicate what matters to them.
We recently published two guides to support people who work with or care for people with dementia or learning disabilities that offer simple steps to help people communicate what they want, need and enjoy in life.
