Between 2020 and 2024, personalised care will be made universal, improving the lives of approximately 2.5 million people in England. This article explores the role of well-being and happiness in health and care and what it can add to the concept of ‘what matters to me’.

It describes the evidence detailing how stress affects health and well-being and the factors that enable people to survive and even thrive during challenging moments of their lives.

The author examines how nurses can switch between assessing and meeting needs and enabling people to use their strengths to improve their well-being. Several examples of exceptional nursing care are provided and discussed, enabling readers to consider how they can develop their own initiatives to promote well-being in their practice.
