    Developing philosophical and pedagogical principles for a pan-European person-centred curriculum framework
    (Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-09-30) Dickson, Caroline; van Lieshout, Famke; Kmetec, Sergej; McCormack, Brendan; Skovdahl, Kirsti; Phelan, Amanda; Cook, Neal F.; Cardiff, Shaun; Brown, Donna; Lorber, Mateja; Magowan, Ruth; McCance, Tanya; Dewing, Jan; Štiglic, Gregor
    Background: In the associated article in this special issue of the International Practice Development Journal, Phelan et al. (2020) offer an analysis of the global positioning of person-centredness from a strategic policy perspective. This second article, an international person-centred education curriculum development initiative, builds on that foundational work. It outlines the systematic, rigorous processes adopted by academics from five European countries to analyse stakeholder data, theoretically frame the data, and thereby identify philosophical and pedagogical principles to inform the development of person-centred curriculum frameworks.

    Developing facilitation skills amongst undergraduate nursing students to promote dementia awareness with children in a higher education institution (innovative practice)
    (Sage, 2018-11-17) Gibson, Caroline; Rennie, Karen; Dewing, Jan; McKinlay, Lesley
    Final year students on a BSc Hons Nursing programme in Scotland were supported to become Dementia Friends facilitators and develop interactive dementia awareness sessions for children from local schools. The children were invited to indicate phrases and images they associated with ‘dementia’ at the outset and end of the session. Analysis of the responses suggested that there were positive changes in the children’s values and beliefs when thinking about a person living with dementia during the sessions. We suggest that peer learning is a valuable strategy to increase public and professional awareness about dementia and supports the development of graduate attributes.
