The implementation of a model of person-centred practice in older person settings final report
2010
This national two year practice development programme in the Republic of Ireland
(2007-2009) has significantly built on the learning and recommendations of a pilot
practice development programme that was undertaken in the Midlands Region
(2005-2007).
The national programme was also influenced by broader international theoretical and
methodological developments in practice development, especially those within the
International Practice Development Collaborative. In particular, the programme has
built on the findings of the first systematic review of practice development. In this
review the authors identified nine key issues that need to be addressed in order for
practice development to have a desired impact.
The programme was managed and delivered by the University of Ulster. The funding
for the programme came from the National Council for the Professional Development
of Nursing & Midwifery and the six participating NMPDUs. The budget was managed
by the NMPDUs. Recognition is also made that all the programme sites found ways
of releasing staff to contribute to the programme within their existing budgets. It
should be noted that as this programme took place during a prolonged period of wide
scale financial pressures on the HSEs, it had to be seriously modified in year 2 in
order to be sustainable.
