Description
The Dementia Care Training Library is a unique modular suite of person-centred, dementia-specific content designed to provide everything required for professionals working in relevant care services to deliver authoritative in-house training. Once users have delivered the two core introductory modules contained within the Starter Pack binder, they can expand the resource by adding any or all of twelve further DCTL modules (Modules 3-14), to be published regularly throughout 2022, 2023 and 2024. The optional modules are provided as loose-leaf pages to be added to the master binder. All Dementia Care Training Library materials take an Action Learning approach, providing a balance of information and practice-based activities that allow learners to reflect on and apply new knowledge in real time as a staff team, and which ultimately lead to changes in practice in the care environment.
