Stories will be used as a method of exploring and eliciting what Person Centred Care means in practice and how care could be enhanced through this process

Developing self and others through critical reflection and analysis of clinical practice.

The course will examine some theoretical frameworks including compassionate care models, the senses framework and emotional labour. Throughout the course, students will be challenged to focus on the user perspective by reviewing patient stories, analysing critical incidents or failing organisations.
