How this fits in

Wider implementation of personalised care planning (PCP) is included in national policy in the linked NHS England Personalised Care and Ageing Well programmes, and is expected to be included in the 2021–2022 GP contract negotiations. Behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are central to implementation of PCP, but are contextual, and not all BCTs are appropriate for use with older people (aged ≥65 years). Building on the current policy and operational focus on implementation of PCP for older people in primary care, this review supports the targeted intervention component of the comprehensive personalised care model by identifying six specific BCTs that have been successfully used in interventions to improve quality of life for older people.
