This course supports professionals to improve the quality of their services by developing advanced knowledge, critical understanding and leadership capability in person centred dementia practice.
This module is designed to provide in-depth understanding of leadership required to facilitate person-centred living for people with dementia and their families. Utilising a person-centred perspective, students will develop skills necessary to lead evidence-based ways of improving the provision of support and services to maintain the personhood of people with dementia.
