Working with some talented and dedicated colleagues to support a range of organisations to embed a personal outcomes approach both in personal practice and in organisationPOP is an initiative that brings together many threads to help health and social care professionals in Scotland improve and embed personal outcomes approaches in their practice.The importance of improving outcomes for people using services is now widely recognised across health and social care.In Scotland the Personal Outcomes Approach has been developed as a way of making sure that what matters to someone and what they want different in their lives lies at the heart of the support/care they receive.It is an Asset Based Approach which recognises the contribution of the person themselves and their own resources to achieving their outcomes, consistent with the principles of co-production
