IN OUR SHOES: A USER AND CARER LED TEACHING MODULE
  Background   
    Over recent years, health and social care has been moving towards greater patient choice and more personalised care (Department of Health, 2005a; Department of Health, 2005b). Person-centred care is standard 2 in the National Service Framework (NSF) for Older People (Department of Health, 2001), and carer support is one of the standards in the NSF for Mental Health (Appleby, 2004). The involvement of users and carers in education (offering distinct but complementary perspectives) is essential if health and social care services are to develop partnership working with people using their services (Tew, Gell & Foster, 2004) in line with these recent policy initiatives.
