Introduction: Both internationally and nationally person-centred practice is a priority within healthcare systems.  In 2011 Department of Hematology at Zealand University Hospital (ZUH), initiated a targeted nursing research- and development process with the aim of developing a person-centred practice/-culture in the Department using a person-centred framework described by McCormack and McCance (1). The clinical nursing-focus for research and development in the Department was and still is: “Quality, continuity and coherence in individually tailored hematologic patient trajectories” (= the common thread).  Method: The research-/ development processes are grounded in a participatory approach, where dialogue and reflection both individually and collectively are key concepts. Most of the research- and development projects at the Department are conducted as small-scale projects with the purpose/aim of developing our Department by producing new, useful and meaningful local knowledge in cooperation with healthcare staff, patients and their families (2). Results and Conclusion: From 2011-2023 we have conducted more than 40 projects/ development processes, originated in practice and with a person-centred approach, and they all have involved an organizational, health professional and family-oriented level (the patchwork). We have evaluated all our projects/ development-processes and the results show that we have developed our practice for the benefit of both patients and their families and for staff also. We have been moving forward from moments of person-centredness to patterns of person-centredness  – but the results also show, that there are different barriers/hindering factors in the way of developing and act person-centred in clinical practice = having a person-centred practice culture. Perspectives: Continuous development and consolidation of a person-centred practice/culture is an ongoing process, which demands both active and positive engagement from all healthcare staff, especially leaders, and a supportive context.
