Synopsis

The Dementia Care Training Library is a unique suite of modular, person-centred, dementia-specific content designed to equip health and social care services professionals to deliver training. All materials take an experiential approach, providing a balance of information and action learning activities that enable trainees to reflect on and apply new knowledge in real time as a team, and to ultimately make changes to everyday practice in the care environment.

Module 3: Person-Centred Practice explores the impact that being a carer can have on the mental and physical health of family members, and how to work sensitively in partnership to support them. It is structured in four Sessions (The impact on family carers of caring for a person with dementia; The diverse experiences of family carers of people with dementia; Working in partnership with family carers of people with dementia; Supporting family carers of people with dementia to live well), allowing the training to be broken into manageable chunks according to the time available and the needs of learners. Each Session takes 3-4 hours to complete and is supported by a PowerPoint slide deck. The Module also includes 19 worksheets for distribution to participants. The slides, worksheets and further resources are available for customers to download from a supporting website.

All Dementia Care Training Library Modules are supplied as looseleaf pages, complete with divider, ready for insertion into the series master binder (available separately as part of The Dementia Care Training Library Starter Pack).
