Overview

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 online module explores the contemporary evidence-base, recent policy developments, and innovations in dementia care practice.

Highlights

  • Module is taught exclusively online allowing flexible learning.
  • Option for learning to be accessed as CPD study without assessment and credit.
  • Becoming Dementia Friendly – students are encouraged to think about how their own organisations can be ‘challenged’ to become more person-centred and family orientated.

Entry Requirements

Students will need to provide 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).  Students will also need regular access to dementia patients and carers.

Course Content

  • This module has been specifically designed to enhance the contemporary knowledge and expertise of leaders and managers in health and social care provision who are providing services and delivering care to people living with dementia (PWD) and their carers.

    The aim of the module is to further develop the knowledge of key staff who are working with people who are living with dementia and their carers in order to prepare them to lead in the development and transformation of informal social support networks and formal care pathways.

    The content includes:

    • Day 1 – Person-Centred Care – Living with Dementia
    • Day 2– Person-Centred Care – Communication and the Environment
    • Day 3 – Leadership and Transition
    • Day 4 – Policy into Practice
    • Day 5 – Research into Practice

    For those wishing to access any of the above as standalone CPD study days, please email cpd@northampton.ac.uk for more information, prices and to book.

    This is a distance learning module so all learning, teaching and assessment will take place exclusively online.
