health or social care practice, either individually or as part of a
team, the Practice Development Workbook for Nursing, Health and
Social Care Teams offers a wide-ranging selection of

Healthcare, this new resource grounds practice development in
day-to-day nursing and health and social care through accessible,

ways in which teams can make their workplace cultures more

themselves to make compassionate care a fundamental part of
effective health and social care systems.

stages of learning and development towards person-centred practice,
including learning activities, templates, posters, tips and hints,
information sheets, and checklists.

clients and residents in the transformation of workplace cultures
and bringing about sustainable change

* Perfect for use both by individuals or by those working in
group settings
