The implementation of a model of person-centred practice in older person settings
The evaluation of this specific part of the programme identified a variety of active
learning activities which were utilised. Many of the activities are now being replicated
and refined in an Australian practice development program, again indicating their
usefulness within practice development. The personal and professional growth for
individuals across different roles and within the health care teams was evident in the
analysis of the programme day notes, thus active learning activities were found to be
acceptable to the participants and utilised throughout the programme day and in
practice. Further, the acceptability and usability of Active Learning across all the
sites and throughout all the days was high further indicating its usefulness.
This program also demonstrates that practice development programmes can be led
from a distance and that a group of facilitators can be coached to locally lead and
deliver complex practice development activity.
