Training

Vision for Dementia offers specialist training that is aligned to Dementia Training Standards Framework (Skills for Health, Skills for Care, Health Education England), 2018.

Training is tailored to the needs of participants from health and social care sectors, statutory and voluntary or independent, and is based on the enriched model of dementia care and the Human Rights approach. Training courses and workshops are designed to:

  • develop knowledge and understanding
  • provide an opportunity to reflect on practice
  • recognise the context and policy frameworks in which we practice
  • enthuse, stimulate and motivate participants to improve practice
  • put participants ‘in the shoes’ of people affected by dementia

A learner-centred and constructivist approach is adopted and includes a range of learning opportunities, such as experiential work, group work, discussion, ‘teaching’, reflection and problem solving.

 

Training currently includes:

Currently there are no open courses planned

One-off presentations

Perhaps you want to introduce new ideas and issues to a group of staff, to commissioners or providers and a one-off presentation might do the trick. I am happy to develop a presentation to meet your needs in any of my specialist areas.

 

An individual approach!

All training can be tailored and modules can be incorporated to meet your needs. Please contact Penny Redwood to discuss your needs.
