Dignity at the end of life: caring for our caregivers | Christian Goodwin | TEDxFulbrightGlasgow

Most of us will spend time in a nursing home during our life, as a caregiver, a visitor, or as a resident ourselves. Yet many people fear nursing homes more than death. Christian Goodwin explores how we can improve nursing home experience and outcome by improving conditions for nursing home staff. Taking lessons from Walt Disney World, Goodwin demonstrates how job crafting adds value and dignity to our caregivers, which in turn gives value and dignity to the end of life. Christian Goodwin is a current Fulbright Scholar at the University of Liverpool. He has spent his Fulbright year pursuing a Masters of Public Health, working as an honorary Research Fellow at the Palliative Care Institute Liverpool, and playing keeper for the Liverpuddly Cannons Quidditch team.

I’m a support worker who has many dreary days and nights. Never heard of job crafting but it makes sense. Hood ideas in this talk.
