Person-centredness is a global movement in healthcare that prioritises the human experience. It challenges healthcare organisations to think beyond the effective and efficient completion of tasks and to consider the overall experience of care on the person and their wellbeing. The Person-centred Practice Framework (PCPF), of McCance and McCormack (2021), profiles person-centred practice as a whole-systems issue and through the articulation of the key constructs, emphasises the contextual, attitudinal and moral dimensions of humanistic caring practices. This mid-range theory is viewed as a means of operationalising person-centred care in any context, and highlights the attributes of the practitioner in creating meaningful engagements with patients and families.  The essence of person-centred care is a way of being, and focuses on creating connections between persons in any one caring moment.  In this presentation we illuminate the person-centred processes through storytelling that reflects our lived experiences of care. As the original authors of the PCPF, over the past 25 years we have been committed to working with healthcare teams and organisations to develop contexts that enable the delivery of person-centred care.  Yet we continue to experience care that is inconsistent as reflected through the person-centred processes. Our positionality as leaders in this field, gives us a privileged position of power to give voice to our concerns and to elevate the issues for policy and practice.  Our stories, like many others, are a salutary reminder of the vulnerability experienced by persons across healthcare systems and the potential for practitioners to ‘leave a person-centred imprint’ among those with whom they connect.  REF: McCance, T. & McCormack, B.
