AnnotationThere is a case for more widespread training in person-centred care among the staff of residential care and nursing homes. Jo Flannery is working with a team at the Sheffield Institute for Studies on Ageing which is conducting an evaluation study of the AgeCare Awards, a new training scheme that gives emphasis to individualised care. In this article, she and her colleagues report on trainees' reactions, and on some practical and management difficulties associated with the course. (RH).
