Recognising and understanding dementia
In 2007 a National Audit Office survey found that 201,000 people with dementia live in residential care homes. CSCI (now CQC) have only registered 124,000 care home places for dementia. This indicates that many people may be developing dementia whilst already in residential care. Our first course is intended to give staff the skills, knowledge and attitudes that they will need to be able to care for this group of residents. The course looks at dementia recognition and diagnosis, factors that may slow down the development of dementia, and some useful techniques around Reality Orientation and Validation therapy. Although primarily looking at issues in residential care, the course would also be useful for staff dealing with dementia in community services.
Managing contemporary dementia care services
This course looks at the issues and challenges for managers and senior staff wishing to run a contemporary dementia care service. The course examines both traditional and contemporary approaches to dementia care, and some of the issues for key stakeholders in moving from a traditional towards a contemporary approach. For example, what challenges might there be for the staff team working in the new paradigm in terms of new skills, new attitudes, and new approaches to working with risk? The course also touches on business skills and marketing.
Challenging behaviours in dementia
Sometimes, people find it difficult to hear dementia being mentioned without thinking about challenging behaviour. But are they really synonymous? The course looks at some behaviours that staff may describe as challenging, and examines potential underlying reasons for the behaviours. The course also gives staff some useful techniques that will help both to minimise the risk of aggressive incidents, and to deal confidently with such incidences should they occur. The course is intended to be as participative as possible using a combination of shared experiences, case study group work, and applying the theories to practical examples.
