[vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb2\/3″][vc_column_text]We interview Cristina Gori<\/strong>, coordinator of the center \u201cIl Giardino dei Tigli<\/strong><\/a>\u201d located in Altavilla Vicentina<\/strong>, which is part of the \u00abPapa Luciani<\/strong>\u00bb multi-purpose center managed by the Cooperativa Sociale di Solidariet\u00e0 Promozione Lavoro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 What does your center do? What is your mission?<\/strong>
\nThis is a residential community for people with severe disabilities acquired in adulthood following all kinds of traumas and degenerative diseases.
\nSince our patients have suffered an unexpected shock that has disrupted their daily lives, what we set ourselves is their return to a life as autonomous as possible through the reconstruction of personality and social role.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How many beds do you offer? How many employees do you have?<\/strong>
\nWe have a total of 20 beds, of which 19 for long-stay and 1 for short-stay. There are about 30 employees, including 20 medical professionals, plus administrative staff.<\/p>\n

\u2022 What are the characteristics that make you a centre of excellence in your field?<\/strong>
\nWe are the only community in Veneto specifically designed for people with acquired brain injuries. After a first experimental period of 3 years, from 2015 we are in fact included among the services offered by ULSS 8 Berica (our local health unit), even exceeding the regional standard regarding personnel, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
\nWhat then stands out is our organizational model: there is a close collaboration between all professionals and a horizontal-type global vision.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How long have you been welcoming trainees? In which areas? From which country have you welcomed trainees so far?<\/strong>
\nWe have been welcoming Italian trainees since 2015 and in 2016 we started the collaboration with Eurocultura, hosting so far German trainees as nurses, occupational therapists, social-health workers.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Which are the tasks assigned to them? What can a trainee learn from you?<\/strong>
\nIn addition to all the tasks that concern their job, we try to offer the trainees a 360\u00b0 view on our working method focused on teamwork. They can also deepen their knowledge on head injury and relate with people who have suffered it, realizing firsthand what it entails.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How do you organize the placement and the \u00abfollow-up\u00bb of the trainee?<\/strong>
\nDuring the first interview, general information about the structure and the work schedule is given to the trainees. They can have day shifts or afternoon shifts. We mentoring the trainee throughout the entire traineeship, that means
\nsupervision is constant. The trainees can also take part in regular team meetings involving all medical staff.<\/p>\n

\u2022 How do the employees react to the trainees? And the patients?<\/strong>
\nThe trainees have always been well welcomed by other colleagues and immediately integrated into the team. For us they are an enrichment, as they allow us, for example, to come into contact with a different way of working, but also represent a valuable source of new incentives for patients, who have always reacted very well to their presence.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Tell us something funny that happened to you!<\/strong>
\nWe always have a laugh with the trainees when they make linguistic gaffes! And then I find it surprising how some of our patients with serious difficulties to express themselves are able to tie up with trainees who barely speak Italian, to the point of finding them more than once together smoking a cigarette in the smoking areas during the break!<\/p>\n
