Cornerstones of Person-Centred Dementia Care
Learning to evaluate and improve the quality of person-centred care for people with dementia.
What is Cornerstones of Person-Centred Dementia Care?
The aim of the Cornerstones of Person-Centred Dementia Care programme is to equip direct care staff with a complete knowledge set with which to provide person-centred dementia care. Learning outcomes are aligned with the Government's Skills for Care and other Health and Social Care NVQ units. It is suitable for mixed staff groups including care managers, nurses, therapists and support workers.
The course includes:
- Day 1 - Dementia explained: The enriched model of dementia
- Day 2 - Therapies and interventions in dementia care
- Day 3 - Making difficult decisions: An ethical framework
The Course programme builds on the internationally-regarded Bradford Dementia Group's extensive knowledge of evidence-based practice.
It was originally developed within dementia care organisations using ongoing feedback from staff to develop the training materials. Since then, we have developed and continuously updated the material and our training methods.
