Person and Whānau Centred Care is collaborative healthcare focused on meeting the needs, values, and desired outcomes of individuals and whānau.
The model of Person and Whānau Centred Care (PWCC) has been developed to support and enhance the physiotherapy profession in Aotearoa New Zealand. It highlights how you can provide care that meets the needs of individuals and their whānau, and that improves their health outcomes. You will be able to use the guidance provided in the model to plan your professional development, and enhance your professional practice.
