Summary: People with long-term conditions require support from various sources to manage their conditions, with acceptance, making it work in daily life, and the need for collaboration with health practitioners being key themes. Support from understanding health practitioners, especially advanced nurses, is crucial for individuals to effectively self-manage and maintain quality of life. Practitioners need to acknowledge the difficulties individuals face in accepting their condition and symptoms, and provide individualized support to help them maintain independence and quality of life.

Summary: This article discusses the implementation of patient-centred care (PCC) in dentistry, with the need for more research in this area. PCC has been found to be associated with better health outcomes for patients and greater work satisfaction among healthcare professionals. However, efforts to implement PCC in dentistry are hindered by the lack of consensus on its definition and explicit guidelines for its implementation.

Summary: The development of personal communication plans can improve the interaction between people with communication disorders and healthcare staff. This pilot study explores the implementation of communication routines, including personal communication plans, in long-term residential care facilities. The overall implementation success rate was moderate, with one facility showing promising results related to personal communication plans. Both facilities faced barriers to implementation, including management problems and a lack of reminders. Stable and committed leadership is crucial for successful implementation, regardless of the facility's characteristics.

Summary: There is a paradigm shift in the patient-clinician relationship due to the changes in information access. However, the model under which clinicians are trained and care is conducted has not changed significantly. The rise of participatory health has empowered people to take control of their lives and health, partnering with physicians as needed. To fully drive this paradigm change, patient centricity needs to become a more active, collaborative process driven by both parties' needs and preferences.
