| Annotation | Implementing person-centred practice is more than organising the occasional training session for the care team. This guide stresses the crucial role of managers in setting practice standards, and suggests ways of creating a team who feel valued and competent to respond to service users. It is based on a 9-month action learning project exploring the following themes: problem issues that prevent training being translated into practice; how the current culture undermines changing practice; the role of the manager as a change agent; and how the manager and the team can effect changed practice.
