This credit-bearing continuing professional development course aims to examine the underlying principles theories, concepts, policies, and practices that underpin the organisation and delivery of dementia care.
Dementia is a national and global priority due to its substantial personal, relational, and societal impact. People living with dementia have complex health and social care needs and require increasing levels of support and care as dementia progresses.
Successful implementation of person-centred care and relationship-centred care requires practitioners to be equipped with knowledge and skills and be empowered to deliver high-quality care often within impoverished care environments. In addition, progressive efforts to innovate, promote quality and integrate care are impacted on by the reality of resource constraints.
National and global strategies aim to improve the lives of people with dementia, their families and the people who care for them while decreasing the impact of dementia on communities and countries. The module will provide a supportive and academically challenging environment within which students will develop a critical understanding of how policies have helped shape the delivery of services.
We will also examine how policy is informed and draws upon evidence-based practice and the findings from research activities.
