Famke van Lieshout
My PhD was about the development of an effective (person-centred and evidence based) workplace culture through participatory action research. The focus was on essential conditions of being and becoming a person-centred facilitator of practice development.
I’m currently a program leader on the development of person-centred learning and work environments within Knowledge centre ‘Person-centredness in the Aging society’ at Fontys university of Applied Sciences, school of People and Health Studies.
