Hello everyone

I am a full-time community mental health nurse based in Ormskirk Lancashire. Since 1998 online Have championed a conceptual framework - Hodges’ model which was created to facilitate person-centered, holistic, integrated care and reflective practice. Currently I am researching the model at Lancaster University in Technology Enhanced Learning. My Part 2 project involves evaluating the model by creating a new web resource to prototype specific content types, gather data and create some research interest. I plan to use Drupal to create my research platform.

I have just posted news of OP3N on my blog “Welcome to the QUAD”

Welcome, Peter!

Hello @pjones, welcome to Edgeryders. I checked out briefly your blog: congratulations, you really are very active!

But where is the model? I read your 2004 paper: I am a non-professional and may simply lack the knowledge to process it, but what it looks to me is that you are discussing a model that was presented somewhere else. There is a link at the end of the paper, but it points to a site no longer active.

Would you have a “Hodges model for dummies” somewhere?

Ping @markomanka, he’ll know a lot more than me.

Hodges’ model

Hello Alberto,

Thanks for your interest and response. Ah! It sounds like you have tried to access the old website p-jones.demon.co.uk which was valid from 1998 up to last summer when Demon closed as an ISP.

Sorry about that. My current studies will include posting some introductory information. I’ve just organised new hosting.

I’d be happy to try to answer questions and will add a note on my blog / and to the papers I have re. the expired website.

Kind regards,

Peter Jones

Integral Care

Hallo Peter!

This looks very much like a care model relatet to integral aspects as in “Integral Theory”. For insiders there ist not much to mention… you are on the right pass, following the right train of thougt.

We do have a simolar model in Mind but not only focussing on health, rather integrating health, learning, knowlege and cohabitation into a larger scheme.

So we want to encourage you to not only reserach this and create a virtual environment but work with real communities, who get supported by your ideas.

Real communities

Hey @samadhi.0110 and @pjones, it’s been a while and in the meantime mental health became quite a topic here in OpenCare, with many people showing interest and sharing their work. You might find interesting what WeMentalHealthNurses are doing as they bring people on twitter to discuss topics of interest for both caregivers and patients, and refine the idea of MH nursing in a very dynamic community.  Just a thought, hope your work is progressing?
