Person-Centred Care Advisory Council
Putting partnerships with patients at the heart of every improvement, and giving you the PCC resources to make it happen.
Providing Education for a Person-Centred Care Approach
ISQua believes that person-centredness is an essential pillar of safe, high-quality healthcare. For more than 2 decades, the movement toward person-centred care has gathered pace, and ISQua now hosts a vibrant global community determined to make it routine in every system.
We prioritise person-centred care and coproduction across our journals, specialist courses, white papers, live and virtual events, and partnerships with patient-advocacy leaders.
White paper: Person-Centred Care Systems: From Theory to Practice
Redesigning legislation, governance, financing, information systems, education, and research is the only way to make a person-centred care approach the default, not the exception. This landmark ISQua paper turns that sweeping ambition into an operational roadmap – with maturity models, international case snapshots, and policy levers your team can act on today.
