Background Person-centred care (PCC) builds on understanding the person’s narrative, values, and resources, and on forming a partnership that supports shared decisions and active participation in care. Health literacy (HL) refers to how persons find, evaluate, and act upon health information. It extends from the individual level to the organisational level, where it contributes to making care more accessible and actionable. While PCC and HL are often discussed as interconnected, their relationship remains unexplored. This scoping review aimed to describe both concepts and their interrelationship through shared and distinct attributes.   Method The methodological framework by Arksey and O’Malley was applied. Two separate searches for each concept were performed by two experienced librarians in the databases CINAHL, PubMed, and Scopus. The scoping considered peer-reviewed articles published between January 2000 and June 2025 that included an analysis, conceptualisation, or theorisation of one of the two concepts. Each concept was summarised based on core attributes, and differences and similarities identified.   Results The searches identified 10,284 articles for PCC and 5,513 for HL, of which 17 and 19, respectively, met the inclusion criteria. The included articles primarily originated from Europe and North America. Eight shared attributes underpinning both PCC and HL were identified: empowerment, meeting persons' needs and addressing everyday life, shared and informed decision-making, effective and tailored communication, functional healthcare systems, supportive organisational structures (leadership, policy, and work environment), cultural competence, and equity. The results are presented in Figure 1. Conclusion PCC and HL share several attributes and strive to empower persons with an equity-driven approach, emphasising communication towards shared and informed decisions. Leadership, policy, and organisational environment were highlighted in both concepts, indicating that person-centred and health-literate care depend not only on individual skills but also on organisational prerequisites. These insights may guide future conceptual work and support development of integrated frameworks.
