| Course description |
This course will give students an opportunity to explore and understand person centred approaches to care policy and practice. Over the course of ten two hour sessions, students will be introduced to the origins, principles and philosophy of person centred care before going on to critically engage with the application of these theoretical understandings across a broad range of healthcare settings. Emotional labour, emotional intelligence and reflection will be central to the wider discussion of professional, family and individual relationships in care practice.
Outline content is expected to include; theory and concepts of person centred care, theory of compassion in care and ethical practice, emotions and emotional intelligence, emotional labour and reflective practice, person centred approaches to hospital discharge, person centred approaches across the lifespan, across healthcare systems and outside of hospital, including identity and recovery, third sector, and youth work.
