Relationship-based Practice with Adults - What is it, What does it look like and What are the Benefits?

This resource set is designed to give participants an understanding of relationship-based practice and the theoretical roots and core values that underpin it. It also introduces the IDEAS model; what it is, how it can be used to support effective practice, and how it can help professionals to evaluate and reflect on their practice and practice they are responsible for.

Description

In the first part of this resource, Dr Sue Hollinrake, in conversation with CareKnowledge's Head of Content Rob Mair, provides an understanding of relationship-based practice and discusses the theoretical roots and core values that underpin it. They will consider the policy and legislative context for it and explain the importance of that, and explore why significant interest in it has grown again.

In the second conversation, Heidi Dix discusses the IDEAS model; what it is, how it can be used to support effective practice, and how it can help you to evaluate and reflect on your practice and practice you are responsible for.

In the third conversation, Sue and Heidi discuss some of the barriers that can present a challenge to relationship-based practice. They reflect on what can be done to overcome them, as well looking at the opportunities this approach offers using real practice examples and drawing on their own significant experience of working with adults.

In the final part of the webinar, Rob Mair puts audience questions and comments to Sue and Heidi.
