Overview: I take a leading role within the Centre for Applied Dementia Studies in relation to Dementia education. I have been involved in creating the curriculum for the new MSc Advanced Dementia studies programme (launched Sept 2019), for which I was programme leader. As programme lead during the development of the curriculum I took oversight of curriculum design and delivery, undertaking University programme approval and quality assurance processes, taking leadership of the design of the curriculum and the development of innovative resources and content for its modules, which are delivered via distance learning. I was responsible for overseeing student attainment and monitoring as well as marketing, recruitment, admissions and induction. I was responsible for leading the development of, and delivering, the module Evidence Appraisal and Synthesis. It reviewed well in the first year, with an overall student satisfaction rate of 4.1/5. I am also leading the development of a new module which will be designed, created and delivered by people living with dementia. This will be a unique module where people living with dementia will co-produce the content and deliver the materials of our new MSc module.
I am the current programme lead for the Postgraduate Certificate for Practitioners with Advanced or Extended roles in dementia. This innovative postgraduate certificate is the first course of its kind in England. It is designed for practitioners from a variety of clinical backgrounds working in health care settings where diagnostic services and post-diagnostic support for people with dementia are provided. The programme aims to support learners to develop high-level skills in assessment, diagnosis, clinical management and ongoing support for people with dementia and their carers.
