Abstract
First paragraph: This report describes a study of the way in which Community Care practitioners and their managers have engaged with Talking Points: A Personal Outcomes Approach (Petch et al, 2007) through a pilot project within Midlothian Community Care Partnership. Semi-structured interviews with staff and a focus group with service users were used to explore people‟s perceptions of the approach and understanding of its underpinning principles as well as the ways in which it had been used in practice.
