Overview

This course is closed for February 2024. The next intake will be February 2025.

The University of Northampton Dementia Research & Innovation Centre (NDRIC) is currently offering a University (Masters Level 7) module on person-centred and family focused approaches to dementia care.

Advanced Dementia Care is for leaders and managers in health and social care who are providing and delivering care to people living with dementia (PWD) and carers. Adopting a person-centred family focused approach, this module explores the contemporary evidence-base, recent policy developments, and innovations in dementia care practice.

The module material can also be accessed as stand-alone CPD study days.

Highlights

  • Partially delivered in a community venue where contemporary, evidence-based post-diagnostic support is being delivered to people with dementia and their carers.
  • Becoming Dementia Friendly – students are encouraged to think about how their own organisations can be ‘challenged’ to become more person-centred and family orientated.
  • Can also be accessed as stand-alone CPD study days.

Entry Requirements

Evidence of study at level 6 (or equivalent) or tier 2/3 in the ‘Dementia Training Standards Framework ‘ Skills for Health, Health Education England and Skills for Care (2018).
