Partnership working helps to ensure that all individuals and professionals are working towards the same goals and outcomes that are tailored around a specific individual’s needs and preferences. All individuals and professionals need to be open and honest and show a mutual understanding of an individual. There needs to be open communication between everyone and mutual respect and trust, along with a positive and constructive approach. This enables best interest decisions to be made about the care of an individual and how these decisions are best implemented which in turn helps to deliver better outcomes for an individual as it ensures that all needs, wishes, preferences and choices of an individual have been listened to and that the individual can be better supported by each party.
