For over ten years The University of Gothenburg for Person-centred Care GPCC has been performing multidisciplinary interventional and explorative studies on person-centred care in a wide variety of health care settings. Effects show significantly improved quality care, increased patient satisfaction and reduced costs. We also work with implementation, innovation and education. Join this workshop to get hands-on experience of the tools we have developed to facilitate implementation of person-centred care in health care settings. The tools are all available in English. Our two digital tools are available globally for free. The European standard is available in all European countries.


After this session, participants will be able to:



  • Find quality evidence for person-centred care, at GPCCs website

  • Find cost free tools to commence a person-centred care journey within your own context. Mutual Meetings online education package and the PCC-game App

  • Learn how to use The European standard ‘Patient involvement in healthcare – Minimum requirements for person-centred care’ to benchmark PCC implementation in your own setting

  • Learn how facilitators plan to use these tools in a project for implementing PCC in Swedish healthcare settings
