| Summary | Working in partnership with people with dementia for service change is an international interdisciplinary course offering a unique opportunity to focus on service development in a climate of changing and increasing focus on the service user. The course offers an advanced educational level of study in a rapidly growing area of health and social care. It aims to develop the knowledge base and confidence of professionals across agencies and disciplines including managers, educators and policy makers, who are increasingly working with different client groups who have dementia. An important aspect of the course is the opportunity to examine the socio-economic and cultural positioning of people with dementia across international contexts; and the importance and challenges of working in partnership. Students will develop the knowledge of dementia, value base, leadership skills and confidence to work with people with dementia to bring about service development and change. |
