This article describes the development of a person-centred approach to working with older people. The main focus is on developing the ward leader as a key facilitator of practice development work. This process was enabled through external facilitation of the role and project management. The stages of the project work are outlined using an established practice development framework, which ensured a systematic approach to the change process. Registered nurses developed their skills and knowledge in clinical leadership and by the end of the project, nursing care had moved away from meeting the physical needs of the patients only, to a more individualized approach to patient care.
