Course Overview

Our program has been designed to cater to a range of professionals with relevant experience and interest in working with people living with dementia. It has been designed to meet the needs of health and social care professionals and also professionals who are working for charities, voluntary organizations, and social enterprises.

It aims to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence of all its participants to lead, plan and deliver person-focussed care to people living with dementia, particularly in relation to their changing care priorities as dementia advances.

Bringing together students with a wide range of personal and professional experiences enriches learning and insights from real-world practice and provides a deeper understanding of professional and organizational issues.
