Abstract:
An interdisciplinary group of clinical and non-clinical academics in Sweden created a research centre for the study of person-centred care (PCC) in long-term illness: the University of Gothenburg Centre for Person-Centred Care (GPCC). The GPCC steering committee formulated a position paper with three 'simple routines' to initiate, implement, and safeguard PCC in daily clinical practice. The EJCN accepted this position paper for publication in 2011. This brief review seeks to present how PCC, as defined in the position paper, has been used in research and published in EJCN during the past 5 years (2016-20). Clinical implications and future research in PCC are also suggested.
