Course structure & overview of key content
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the key features of Goal Directed Care Plans (GDCP). We reinforce why GDCP is a core element of person centred practice and provide a brief overview of the context, drivers and benefits of GDCP for clients, staff and organisations.
We then introduce good practice principles, key processes, organisational systems and tools that support effective and efficient goal setting and planning
Chapter 2: Educate
This chapter focusses on how to introduce goal setting and care planning to clients so that clients understand the expectations, value and how to effective engage in the process.
Chapter 3: Identify
A holistic, strengths based assessment makes goal setting and planning more effective and efficient. This chapter presents a range of practical strategies and tools that can be integrated into person centred conversations. It then goes on to explore meaningful goals and how to identify them.
Chapter 4: Create
This chapter focusses on how to work collaboratively with clients to create effective GDCP. We include reminders about who should be involved (and how), before discussing the key elements of GDCP documentation. It explores effective GDCP templates and how these can be used to create care plans that are meaningful and useful (for clients, carers and staff).
You will work through an example of a written care plan, exploring common documentation challenges and how to overcome them.
Chapter 5: Maintain
Care plans should be ‘living documents’ that are maintained, reviewed and updated regularly to ensure they remain relevant and useful. This final chapter provides guidance about how GDCP should be used to guide ongoing practice. We focus on how effective feedback, monitoring and review processes can be embedded in everyday practice so they’re efficient and effective.
