Welcome to the Compass community!
Compass is an Erasmus+ project designed for managers responsible for supervising the provision of care services for older people.
Currently in the field of care for older people, different training offers have been produced to generate more knowledge and awareness among front-line care workers, to promote a patient centred approach. However, as this approach grew, there was noticed a lack of educational courses for care managers, who, as coordinators, play an important role in this respect.
Thus, Compass was born. Its mission is to help managers adapt their skills to provide Person Centred Care leadership and to effectively support front-line workers in implementing PCC services.
- To provide European care managers with skills to lead the change towards the adoption of person-centred care (PCC) approaches in their working contexts.
- To offer care managers a space and a methodology to support reflection, reflexivity and learning from work-based experience, while also start developing a network of professionals exercising this job at national level and willing to share a professional development process.
- To develop a European Community of Practices (CoP) of care managers and care workers on PCC for older persons with the goal to share experience and skills, build a common language, and support the consolidation of a new professional vision on humanistic care.
