The Moulster and Griffiths Person-centred Nursing Model in Contemporary Nursing Practice

A contemporary approach to person-centred learning disability nursing

Learning Disability nurses need a professional nursing framework that adapts to evolving practice environments. The Moulster and Griffiths Person-Centred Nursing Model in Contemporary Nursing Practice presents real-world examples of how this person-centred, evidence-based, reflective, and outcome-focused model enhances practice across acute liaison, children's services, and lifespan care. Contributors demonstrate how the model has been updated, implemented, and embedded into education and clinical systems.

The book situates learning disability nursing within 21st-century healthcare, addressing workforce challenges, pandemic impacts, and digital transformation. Chapters explore the integration of cloud computing, AI, and digital care planning tools into person-centred practice, including embedding the model into electronic patient records to reduce paperwork and enable timely documentation. Dedicated sections cover pain management and dementia care adaptations.

Readers will also find:

• Activities in each chapter designed to support further learning and reflective engagement with the nursing model's core principles
• Guidance on how digital health record integration streamlines documentation while maintaining person-centred, outcome-focused nursing practice across organisations
• Exploration of how the model supports professional development, autonomy, and role clarity in multidisciplinary and isolated practice settings
• Perspectives on adapting the framework for children and young people's services, addressing age-specific clinical and developmental needs
• Discussion of the Health Equalities Framework and its role in addressing health disparities experienced by people with learning disabilities

Written for nurses, student nurses, nurse academics, and nurse associates, this book also serves multidisciplinary health professionals, social care providers, and families supporting people with learning disabilities. The model's transferability makes it relevant to nurses across all fields seeking to strengthen person-centred practice.
