On some voluntary and community websites.

The information on such budgets should be more freely available. Everything is online now and that is a problem for many individuals who cannot get to the website of the NHS etc.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Local government website too.

Violet Rook made a comment
I have done some training in counselling and have been involved in many other roles where it is vital to listen to individuals. Being a good listener is vital.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Everything about a person tells you about them. It is about listening and observing and reading the individual and appreciating them and their needs, experiences.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I want to do the step three course.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Many aspects of the course are about the needs of others and how one can apply oneself to understanding and provide empathy.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I am motivated to help others help themselves in all aspects of life. I try to learn myself to help others learn.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Showing you are genuine is always good, but being aware of the feelings of others who may take time to be relaxed about situations shows empathy and builds trust.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Also be understanding of your audience and when the discussion is taking place. Allow yourself and them to gain trust in each. This takes time.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
It is about reading people and treating them with respect and being a good listener. Also remembering they are not you, and though they may have the same condition their experience is their own and also there needs.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
It is important to note the individuality of all parties in regard to peer support. Experiential learning is acquired and helps all to be aware of each others needs.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Agree completely.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Helping is about understanding and empathy and the ability to listen. These are very rare characteristics.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Respect and empowerment are vital.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Some very useful information and facts.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The work of ICS will be interesting. the public needs more publicity about how they are to work in regard to all the measures outlined.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The different between the two terms perhaps indicates how they are considered by many individuals and therefore their actions.
-
Respect between Enablers and Health Care Professionals is so vital to the project.
-
The key feature is that individuals are not stereotyped.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
A great idea, but how often are put into practices and help everyone who needs to be helped.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Many thanks for this course.
-
The real life stories help to get the message out there.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I am involved in many projects, but your course is very clear and gives information which although available to the public seems not be be given so clearly in many other places.. Thank you.

Violet Rook made a comment
Good personal care is surely what the NHS and health care in general should be. No stereptyping of any individual.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Very informative.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Never heard of the details give here. Information does not seemed to be given freely in GP practices or hospitals.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
There needs to be a lot more publicity given to these Personal Health Budgets.
-
This seems to be the best way of giving individual care to the person and not treating them as numbers. But there needs to be understanding and respect from all parties concerned.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Agree entirely with the statements about.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
There is always a danger of stereotyping to either save time or money. This is not good for anyone patient or staff or the NHS.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
It is all about respect and understanding of each other and the situations individuals find themselves in. This should also be the case in regard to health care professionals.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The CEmPaC idea looks interesting.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Peer support from indivduals who have shared experiences is very helpful to many people
-
I greatly approve of this model of care. But have not seen it in action very much. It views the person and the social situation.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I have not had experience of social prescribing. But I have been involved in many projects concerning the setting up of this aspect of care.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
No experience personally of social prescribing. I have been involved in many community organisations who provide it.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I have asked about Allergy tests, and was told they do not do them. Could go private. This I thought was not the right answer.

Violet Rook replied to judith bower
Your rights as a patient are not usually put up in a GP surgery, perhaps they should be.
-
Good ideas which should give patients the support they need to provide an holistic treatment plan. But this all depends on the type of training the healthcare professionals are given and the attitudes of the said individuals to their job.
-
Holistic are helps everyone.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
A respect on behalf of patient opinion and needs is vital in healthcare professionals. This encourages trust.
-
The more information one obtains the better. But one gets the impression one needs to know the right questions.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Many thanks for the information to download. This needs to be publicized more.
-
I like the idea of asking questions.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Looking forward to this.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
An holistic care structure and good communication between all aspects of the health service would promote better personalized care.
-
Good community between communities and the Primary and Secondary care.
-
Gives good points in regard to individuals and their needs.
-
Health inequalities start at birth therefore good ante natal care and encouraging health education for parents is vital. Public Health policy needs to adjusted to educate in regard to basic holistic health care. This also involves understanding of personalised care both in regard to the patient and healthcare professional.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
A great infographic and list lets hope the good things can happen.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I have knowledge of the practise from community and health events, but not personally.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Patients need time to assimilate information and their opinion respected.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Communication between Primary and Secondary care is often not good. There needs to be more co-operation in regard to patient care.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Cancer care sometimes good. But stereotyping of individuals and use of Algorithms in regard to care is worrying.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The statistics could hide other diseases which are hidden.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I am totally for personalized care, there is too much stereotyped care.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Very interesting discussions. The topic of where care is going, surely all the use of digital care illustrates part of the journey.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
It is vital that it is a joint programme of care the doctor and the patient. Also the physician is trained to view the patient holistically and that must indicate personalised care which considers the person as a whole including their emotional and social situation. Too much specialisation can lead to omitting important information.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Yes but often one is only given a set amount of time eg with a GP ten minutes and that is to discuss one topic only.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The article does reflect many of the difficulties faced by the patient and carer in the NHS. This attitude of "doctor knows best" is encouraged by the media stereotyping the professionals and the different members of society in documentaries and dramas. Plus there is a trend towards stereotyping the individual in regard to pathways of care. We are all...
-
Violet Rook made a comment
But this should be a two way model, healthcare professionals should also connect better and see the patient in an holistic way in regard to them having a voice.
-
The words used are what should happen. It would be truly great.
-
ARC NECN is using Patient and Public Involvement partners in many aspects of their research in regard to the co-production model.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The trouble is the economic structure of society often gets in the way, of progress and the person becomes secondary to the economic model. This is the change which seems to have occurred since the 1980's.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
The funding aspect is very worrying, in that people could be classed more as numbers than individuals. They progress made should not be allowed to regress.
-
Want to continue to learn about the topic.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Useful guidance about the course.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Very very helpful
-
Violet Rook made a comment
It proves good communication between services is vital and that everyone understands what others are doing will benefit the patient in the short and long term.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I am here because I think the patient and their carer should be equal partners with healthcare professionals and therefore given a voice which is listened to at every stage of care.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
There is a lot discussion about personalised care but not actually seen much of it in practise therefore would like to know more.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I have been on Futurelearn for a long time. Glad this course is being held in this way.

I have lived experience via my own health and my family. I also cared for my parents who both had cancer. I have also knowledge of caring for individuals with eye conditions, diabetes, asthma and musculoskeletal problems.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Downloaded the booklet. I am very involved in health and healthcare both for myself and family. Communication and information are vital
-
Violet Rook made a comment
So often care looks to be based on stereotypical algorithms. The patient needs a voice.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
Having the research and making it clear to others is a worry.
-
Violet Rook made a comment
I have a great interest in how people adapt in regard to trauma situations particularly health. How do they express this via their creative processes.
