| Course description |
This course sets out to enable practitioners and student nurses to critically review and examine in depth the many facets of Person Centred Care in practice. Students will discover new ways of learning about their practice as well as ways to embed new knowledge to their ways of working.
Content offered includes topics such as co-production and asset based approach to caring, compassionate care models, the Senses Framework and emotional labour. Digital Stories will also 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 is done through critical reflection and analysis of own clinical practice and sharing lessons learned with peers. Throughout the course, students will be challenged to focus on the user perspective by analysing critical incidents or failing organisations. The critical aspects of caring for self and others will also be discussed and students will get an opportunity to engage in creative tasks that look at images, metaphors and art as a way to express the meaning of person centeredness.
This online course offers students the flexibility of learning when and where it suits them. However, over the 10 weeks of learning students are expected to engage and contribute to their learning community by posting on the digital discussion boards used in the course. Students will also get an opportunity to participate in a virtual meeting and get regular feedback about their progress from the course leader.
