Patient centred care is a vital aspect in the care of the older adult. The World Health Organization states that 65 years is the definition of the older person (WHO 2009). “Over the past decades, there has been a steady increase in life expectancy, mainly due to improvements in sanitation and infectious disease control through vaccination and antibiotics” (An Bord Altranais, 2009) – The older generation are growing older. As the older population is increasing every year, it is therefore important to ensure that the older adult is being cared for rightfully and to the highest possible standards with a focus on patient centred care. “People centred care is focused and organized around the health needs and expectations of people and communities
Covert use of medication can be seen as dishonest as the NMC code (2015) states respect the level to which people receiving care want to be involved in decisions about their own health, wellbeing and care; the code of practice also states act with honesty and integrity at all times, treating people fairly. In contrast however, Beauchamp and Childress (2009) highlights non disclosure, limited discolour, deception or lying may be considered when veracity and the principle of autonomy is thought to conflict with other ethical obligation. Jean was given the opportunity to understand and evaluate what was being asked and was provided with all relevant information to support their decision making process.
Collaboration with health care recipients, colleagues, and other healthcare providers is very important to accomplish the optimum health outcomes.

Daniel & Rosenstein (2008) define collaboration in health care as “health care professionals assuming complementary roles and cooperatively working together, sharing responsibility for problem-solving and making decisions to formulate and carry out plans for patient care.” Finkleman (2006, cited in Ndoro, 2014) states there are many advantages of working in multidisciplinary teams, such as professionals having a greater understanding of one another’s job roles. This permits greater communication between each other. Working within a multidisciplinary team enables collaborative working and improves patient care. Although collaborative person-centred care is vital, it needs improvement.

The Advantages of IPC to the Patient No matter how hard we may try, the importance of interprofessional collaboration in the healthcare system cannot be stressed enough. Of course, interprofessional care has a wide range of advantages in the smooth operating of a team. What is also to be taken into account, however, is the unbounded benefits from the patient’s perspective. As we all know – unfortunately many from our own experiences – the road to recovery requires not only the carefully calibrated skills and expertise of the individual but also the cooperation and constant communication of a vast team of healthcare providers. Through this complex operation come the many advantages to the patient’s treatment and overall health.
