Developing person-centred cultures: participatory methodologies and practices (Pt:1)
13th of May 11am-2pm
Max: 138
Location: Swedish Exhibition Centre
Room: J1
Description: In this workshop we will explore the meaning of person-centred cultures and the evidence-base underpinning the significance of culture in sustaining person-centred care. Person-centred cultures are critical to the development and sustaining of care practices for all persons that are collaborative, inclusive and participative. However, we also know that developing such cultures is complex and challenging and that traditional education/training models have little impact. We will explore a variety of participatory methodologies that can be used to develop such cultures, drawing on a collective expertise from across the world by members of the PCP-ICoP. We will also explore approaches to evaluation and draw on different data sources to illustrate evaluation methodologies and their strengths and limitations. Finally, through the participatory engagement of workshop participants, we will derive key principles to underpin person-centred culture development and explore new collaborative opportunities for carrying forward such work.
Target group: those who are interested in developing person-centred cultures and have responsibility for doing so – e.g. healthcare leaders; implementation scientists; health service evaluators; academics engaged in culture change.
Workshop leaders/trainers: Professor Brendan McCormack, University of Sydney, Australia together with co-facilitators from the PCP-ICOP.
Developing person-centred cultures: participatory methodologies and practices (Pt:2)
14th May 9am-12pm

Evaluating complex interventions using realist evaluation
14th May 9am-12pm
Max: 72
Location: Swedish Exhibition Centre
Room: G2
Description: In this workshop I will introduce the basic principles of realist evaluation and encourage you to ‘think like a realist’. The workshop will consider why realist methods are useful in evaluating complex interventions and provide an overview of key concepts in realist evaluation, including context, mechanism and outcome configurations. Using small group work, you will be asked to apply realist thinking to some examples. We will also discuss how realist interviews are different from traditional qualitative interviews.
Target group: People interested in evaluating complex interventions
Workshop leaders/trainers: Joanne Greenhalgh
