<strong>The</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> a model <strong>of</strong> person-centred practice in older person settings<br />
“Importance <strong>of</strong> being part <strong>of</strong> a group with a shared vision and support from each<br />
other”<br />
Another participant said:<br />
“<strong>The</strong> group work today has been great I really enjoy working this way”<br />
(2) Principles <strong>of</strong> <strong>Practice</strong> Development and the <strong>Person</strong>-centred Framework: from<br />
discussing the framework and working through examples participants were able<br />
to see that developing person-centred care is as much about staff as it is<br />
residents.<br />
“I like the person-centred model because it looks at staff as much as it looks at<br />
the residents. That’s important because if the staff don’t feel that they are<br />
valued and that their input matters it will be hard for them to see that involving<br />
the residents/patients in developing a person-centred culture matters”<br />
“its going to require us all changing how we do things around here and its not<br />
just about what we do but they way we do things” Its going to be a challenge”<br />
(3) Creative ways <strong>of</strong> learning:<br />
“Opening up my mind to new ways <strong>of</strong> learning”<br />
“Learning can be fun relaxed and fulfilling”<br />
(4) Self-awareness: participants were beginning to become aware <strong>of</strong> their own<br />
practice and the impact they could have on changing the culture by role<br />
modelling person-centred ways <strong>of</strong> working. <strong>In</strong> particular, everyday language<br />
was something that participants identified with. <strong>The</strong> participants tended to<br />
comment that the activity on person-centred language made them realise that<br />
they first needed to look at their own practice before they could comment on<br />
others:<br />
” I had no idea I was using that language every day but I do now.<br />
I am going to change how I behave.”<br />
“it is only when you stand back and reflect on what you are doing every<br />
day and how you might be behaving, that you really can see what you<br />
are actually doing, I had no idea”<br />
