Purpose Of Review: This review explores the concept of person-centred care, giving particular attention to its application in mental health and its relationship to recovery. It then outlines a framework for understanding the variety of approaches that have been used to operationalize person-centred care, focusing particularly on shared decision-making and self-directed care, two practices that have significant implications for mental health internationally.

Recent Findings: Despite growing recognition of person-centred care as an essential component of recovery-orientated practice, the levels of uptake of shared decision-making and self-directed care in mental health remain low. The most significant barrier appears to be the challenge presented to service providers by one of the key principles of person-centred care, namely empowerment.

Summary: Shared decision-making and self-directed support, two practices based upon the principles of person-centred care, have the potential for being effective tools for recovery. Full engagement of clinicians is crucial for their successful uptake into practice. More research is needed to address both outcomes and implementation.

Reimagining community engagement in TB elimination: a perspective from the field.

IJTLD Open

Harvard Medical School, Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Boston, MA, USA.

The role of community engagement (CE) in TB policy, care provision and research has been recognized as important, but most models of CE put communities at the periphery of these activities. In this Editorial, written by TB-impacted community members and care providers, we explore the meaning of CE and current barriers to its implementation. We present a model of CE that places community members at the center of TB policy, care provision and research.

Introduction: The Person-Centred Care instrument for outpatient care (PCCoc) is a 36-item patient-reported experience measure with 4 ordered response categories, that aims to capture the degree of perceived person-centred care (PCC) from a patient perspective among persons with long-term conditions. The PCCoc is based on a framework that conceptualises outpatient PCC from lower to higher levels of perceived PCC, from personalisation via shared decision-making to empowerment, where 35 of the PCCoc items are a part of the framework's hierarchy.

Aim: To investigate to what extent empirical item responses are consistent with the hierarchical PCCoc conceptual framework among persons with long-term conditions in outpatient care.

Introduction: In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in March 2020 and required adherence to infection control measures and patient and staff safety, an integrated respiratory team (IRT) developed guideline-based templates to support the team in teleconsultation reviews of their patients. Patients had been diagnosed with sleep disordered breathing, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, interstitial lung disease or had oxygen assessment needs.

Methods: Nine IRT members collaboratively developed content for the templates to assist in clinical reviews.
