Is Personal Care all about hygiene?
No. While hygiene—such as bathing, dental care, and nail care—is a core part, personal care is much broader. It includes practical assistance with dressing, feeding, and toileting, but also focuses on emotional and psychological support. Our course teaches how to provide this care through encouragement and guidance, ensuring the service user’s dignity, privacy, and inclusion are maintained as part of a comprehensive, person-centred care plan.
