Why is it important?
It is argued in this paper that while many benefits are potentially derived from a person centred approach to care, the efficacy and impact of this approach is undermined by contextual factors. If these factors are to be recognised and addressed, policy and practice should transcend its focus on the promotion of individual wellbeing and address the wider group and social contexts which can facilitate or prevent the fulfilment of this wellbeing.
