DESCRIPTION:Nick will provide an outline of the principles and techniques 
 that have been applied in the Developing Evidence-Enriched Practice (DEEP)
  project work in Wales.  DEEP is an appreciative\, democratic\, relationsh
 ip-centred\, narrative and dialogue-based approach to using diverse forms 
 of knowledge in policy and practice improvement in health and social care 
 services. \nParticipants in one third sector project site focused on the c
 oncept of relationship-centred practice within the context of older people
 ’s care homes.  This work resulted in changes to policy and practice\, e
 nabling more humane\, relational and responsive ways of working.  \n\n*Bio
