Enrich and Reaffirm Your Practice

Take the steps towards enriching and reaffirming your understanding - and continuing your practice - of person centred care by utilising this training pack.

Let us remember that for anyone privileged to look after patients at whatever stage of their lives, the duty to uphold, protect and restore the dignity of those who seek care embraces the very essence of medicine and social services.

An Inspirational and Practical Learning Experience

This workbook provides inspirational training that consolidates and combines practice with spirituality and creativity.

Within this pack, we use:

• Practical exercises

• Visualisations

• Slide presentations

• Meditations

• Quotations

• Anecdotes

• Poetry

Amanda Waring’s highly respected short films, included in this pack, provide a powerful way to engage the heart, promote debate and inspire positive change - enhancing person centred care.

The workbook ensures that the important messages contained within the films are put into daily practice, helping to re-awaken our humanity and compassion for others and ourselves.

It provides a pathway for greater implementation of personalisation, dignity and respect for older people - ensuring they feel understood, respectfully involved and included, with opportunities to engage in meaningful and reciprocal relationships.

Who This Training Is For

The “What Do You See?” learning experience can be used individually, but it is most powerful when delivered in small groups to stimulate discussion and shared enjoyment of the creative learning tasks and reflective material.

It is aimed at nursing and care staff working in:

• Hospitals

• Care homes

• Extra care settings

• Domiciliary care

The training uses unique tools for innovative person centred care, based on personal experience and best practice.

A Deeply Human Experience

This training pack may feel emotionally challenging at times. We ask you to allow yourself to “feel” more, so that you can “see” more - and ultimately “do” more for those in your care.

We invite you to share your personal stories. There may be tears, and there will be a healthy mix of laughter along the way.

Our aim is to encourage you to be the very best carers - and “world makers” - for older people that you can be. Never devalue or underestimate the importance of what you do.

We all make a difference, no matter how large or small. It is sowing the seeds that matters - and having the courage to try.

This pack provides materials to help staff and others to explore and discover learning together that enhances person centred care and dignity for those working with older people.

The pack is designed to support the facilitator in guiding staff through individual and group learning experiences and exploration in order to:

• Develop skills of self awareness in attitudes and values towards older people. Develop a keener understanding of the effects of ageism in society and in care settings
• Challenge attitudes and stereotypes about working with older people
• Consider the effects of institutionalised, task-orientated approaches to care and their impact on individual dignity and wellbeing.
• Inspire and motivate people to work in person centred, compassionate and deeper spiritual ways.
• Cherish the essence of the unique individuality of humans whatever their age or capabilities.
• Develop skills of empathy to understand what it might feel like to be frail or dependent for health reasons and the experience of loss and change in later life.
• Develop heightened awareness of the importance of personal beliefs and spiritual values in health and social care settings.
• Agree actions to incorporate into daily practice to be supported by all levels of management and structures within the organisation.
