abstract: Former athletics star, Colin Jackson, presented an award to a team from Bristol-based Brunelcare last month in recognition of the company's training in 'Person- Centred Care' that it offers its staff. The charity, which offers care services for older people in residential accommodation and their own homes across the South West, has developed a specialist dementia care programme. Maureen Howe, who spearheaded the training programme, said: 'Although the standard of care within our care homes was good, we wanted to be much better at meeting the needs of people living with a dementia. We wanted to change the culture of care from being task-based to person-centred, seeing each resident for the unique person they are. The training was for everyone, not just the care staff so it encompassed admin, laundry staff, catering staff, everyone.'
