Research summary
The Good Works is a staff training and development framework that has been developed by health and social care services in Wales. The framework describes the level of skill expected for staff when working with people with Dementia. It is hoped this framework will ensure people with dementia will receive the best possible care and support when accessing health and social care services. Welsh Government aims to audit services to ensure they are complying with the Good Work Framework. This project hopes to explore staff views about the key factors needed to meet the level of skill set out in the framework. These key factors might include things such as training, support in the workplace and personal qualities, among others. Healthcare staff that may work with people with dementia in their clinical roles will be invited to participate and share their views. The views will be analysed and any key themes will be shared with senior staff that work across Wales to explore if these factors could be relevant for all healthcare services. This will generate some clear recommendations and guidelines for services to ensure they are complying with the framework, providing a more consistent approach across services in Wales.
