Promoting a Positive Work Culture - Projects
Lothian Y1 Project
In Lothian, 28 nurses from across acute, continuing care and care home settings have been meeting every six weeks since October 2007. Our last meeting was at the beginning of July 2008. Working in three facilitated groups, we used active learning techniques to explore care through the lens of the five themes: managing transitions, creating community, maintaining identity, supporting a good end of life and sharing decision-making.

Lanarkshire Y1 Project
Frontline staff take responsibility for raising standards of dignity on their wards
The Link Nurses within the Older People’s Directorate, NHS Lanarkshire, identified that a DVD resource would enable them to raise awareness and understanding of the issues around ‘caring with dignity’ with their teams and colleagues. They devised the story and wrote a series of scenes to describe these issues.
Through the DVD, evidence-based practice around dignity can be explored using local examples and understanding of the culture. For example, the Healthcare Commission ‘Caring for Dignity’ (2007) identifies a number of key themes as essential elements for ensuring that older people are cared for in ways that respect their dignity.
