“This book is a must read for those wanting to understand, design
and improve our approach to workforce knowledge in dementia
care.” Paul Edwards, Director of Clinical Services, Dementia UK
“Its person-centred, theory and practice-based approaches to
learning make it an essential book for everyone involved in the
delivery, review and commissioning of dementia education." Dr Anna
Jack-Waugh, Senior Lecturer in Dementia, Senior Fellow HEA,
Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy, and Practice, the University
of the West of Scotland, UK “A relevant, innovative, and
important book that can underpin better education and training in
dementia care.” Jesper Bøgmose, Associate Professor, Cand. Cur.,
Faculty of Health, University College Copenhagen, Denmark In the
last twenty years the evidence-base for how to provide
person-centred care for people with dementia has grown
significantly. Despite this until recently there has been little
evidence as to how to provide training and education for the
dementia workforce. This book provides an evidence-based
practical resource for people intending to develop, deliver,
review, or commission education and training for the dementia
workforce. Throughout, the book: • Considers the
importance of informal routes and mechanisms for workforce
development • Examines the importance of context and setting
conditions for successful implementation of training at individual,
service and organisational level • Contains up-to-date
international research evidence, case studies and vignettes
Education and Training in Dementia Care: A Person-Centred Approach
is an accessible text aimed at all levels of prior experience, from
those studying and working in health and social care services and
private and third sector organisations who are responsible for the
training and development of their staff, to commissioners of
training or those who wish to take advice to inform their practice.
