Hi there,
I have just set up a virtual role-play for my undergrad. students at City University London which is centred around person-centred care. We have adapted the concept from a role-play model developed by CASS Business School at City and in particular the work of Clive Holtham. The role-play has been achieved using moodle groups, forums and folders. Students have the opportunity to play both the pregnant woman and the midwife. Each character has their own brief. The midwife's role is to offer woman centred care, the woman's role is to reflect on this care via an on-line reflective journal. Appointments are arranged using doodle scheduler and are conducted using adobe connect (this is great because the meetings are recorded and can be analysed in class to discuss person-centred care). The maternity notes are uploaded using the folder function and the woman's journal is done using a forum. Face-to-face tutorials provide students with the opportunity to reflect on the professional issues that arose during the role-play, out of character to consolidate their learning.
We are presenting this work at Bournemouth's 'Innovation in Midwifery Education, What Works?' conference in July this year. Happy to send you the presentation once it is written!

In response to the report of the Health Foundation entitled "Person-centred care: from ideas to action" (Ahmad et al 2014), we are seeking ways of ensuring that person-centred care is firmly embedded across all our health-related disciplines, including Midwifery. Naturally, everyone thinks they are doing this already (and most probably are), but this needs to be demonstrable to outsiders.
