The implementation of a model of person-centred practice in older person settings
“Great teamwork makes the job a lot easier”
“Need to keep all staff informed and involved”
“Team development is about growing and sharing together”
(5) The need for resilience and support within the programme participants and
facilitators
“I have support from this group -I am not alone”
“Need to support and listen to each other”
“More ways to ‘skin a cat’-we are not helpless”
“We can do it”
Participants were demonstrating in more frequency and detail how they used their
learning to both challenge and support colleagues in the workplace. They used the
different types of evidence they had gathered from to develop action plans, e.g.
duvets for beds, improved signage, movie day, Christmas celebrations more personcentred,
and a buddy system to bring colleagues with resistive behaviours on board.
Day eleven
The themes that were identified from this day were:
Seeing the bigger picture: understanding the reason for involving residents and the
wider healthcare group in their care journey; more involvement of residents, families
and the wider community in their care; healthcare staff leading and chairing residents
groups; involvement of the community.
More awareness of PC language and able to articulate the PD processes; a better
understanding of the PC framework; raising awareness of HIQA and the legislative
process.
Using reflection in daily work and being open to undertaking reflection, the challenge
of reflection was articulated by this participant …difficulties around reflection.
PD processes: increasing knowledge in relation to facilitation skill development
through reading, sharing, networking and role modelling; role modelling facilitation
skills: the process of giving and receiving praise; analysis and evaluation methods
through facilitated processes; establishing resident’s groups using PD processes;
