One of the things I need in my role as Care Partner is on going feedback on my interventions.  If Maureen’s recovery from stroke, and dementia, is to be maximised a team approach is essential.  All team members need to have a mechanism for performance appraisal.

My participation in the Blogging 101 Course has challenged me to rethink the audience, and purpose, of this Blog.   It would really help to me if professional staff were able to use my Blog as a vehicle to comment, when appropriate, on my performance as a Care Partner.  On occasions I would like to forward certain Blogs to professional staff for comment.  I am not expecting our social worker, Admiral Nurse or G P to make their comments public: they can respond  privately by E Mail, when they have time.

I am hoping that this suggestion is helpful to us all.  It would give me supportive feedback, cut down on traffic, and keep meetings to a minimum.
