Hi Shirley – and Jim
In the late 1980s while on a community mental health nursing course at what was Manchester Polytechnical College (now MMU) I was taught and used Hodges’ model. Since 2006 I’ve blogged variously about Hodges’ model – nursing and health and social care and educational, plus informatics topics. The blog includes a bibliography:

There are slides available online from an introduction to the model from a recent presentation March 2012 in Liverpool at the SWAN – Social Work Action Network Conference:
Happy to connect and explore collaboration.
Many thanks for your time,
Peter Jones, Lancashire, UK
