Developing person‐centred care competencies for the healthcare workforce to support family caregivers: Caregiver centred care

Background: Family caregivers (FCGs) are an integral part of the healthcare system. Currently, FCGs provide 70%–90% of the care required by community‐dwelling children and adults living with complex chronic conditions and frailty.

Researchers have proposed training to enhance the competencies of health providers to work effectively with FCGs.
