PBS Matters Paddy Behan & Jo Coulson

Roy Deveau joins Paddy and Jo to share where practice leadership comes from and the research linked to it. 

Part three is all about the practical application of practice leadership within services. Roy Deveau shares how best to introduce practice leadership, training for practice leaders and the benefits it can bring. Roy goes through the EDDY model as a useful method to ensure training is embedded into practice. 

Paddy and Jo re joined by Roy Deveau and discuss what practice leadership is. They cover the difference between practice leadership and management, the importance of having practice leaders and how context impacts on the effectiveness of practice leadership. 

Paddy and Jo consider the important elements of PBS; including contextual fit, stakeholder involvement and function based strategies. They discuss what PBS is and is not and why organisational culture is crucial for translating the theory and training into practice. 

This episode discusses two case studies to demonstrate PBS in practice. Jo introduces a gentleman where his fear of dogs was preventing him for going out and Paddy discusses implementing PBS across an organisation. 

Tony Osgood joins Paddy and Jo to discuss person centred planning and why this is a good first step to understanding a person prior to completing in depth behaviour work.
