  4. Gloucestershire Care Services NHS Trust • GCS NHST is a community trust with both community hospitals, integrated multi professional community teams, sexual health, dentistry, specialist nursing services etc. • Challenge is to get a learning experience that works across all services and links to the countywide agreed learning pathway.

  5. Why Barbara? • Wanted to get to the hearts and minds. • Experience of one individual. • Reflecting on the positives and negatives. • Could that experience be mirrored in my area of work? • Strap line – the smallest things make the greatest difference.

  6. Mechanics • Ran episode 1 as a pilot and evaluated. • Split into 2 sessions – have to come to both to complete, get certificate etc. • Also run episode 1 as a taster for small groups. • Mixture of DVD, group discussion and small group work. • Include capacity and consent and delirium.

  7. Evaluation to Date It’s powerful – groups are getting larger as word spreads. “ very positive way of showing how patients should be treated” “ well balanced, thought provoking” “ makes me think about how I come across to the individual I am working with”

  8. Changes in Practice All who attend are challenged to go away and change just one thing……… • Set up of podiatry clinic room. • Changes to the telecare initial assessment. • Meeting and greeting in OPD

  9. Next steps • Will run throughout the year. • Dementia Friends accreditation. • Follow up those who have attended – has their one action made a difference? • Data – reduction in incidents, accidents such as falls?
