Dementia Simulation Programme
1 day immersive course
The training is delivered over a full day
encompassing the majority of the skills
development. Through the use of
simulation, the participants will develop
awareness and insight into the
experiences of people with dementia.
Based on this experiential learning, they
will reflect upon and explore the
potential experiences and needs of their
own population within their work areas
(e.g. ward/home/community)
Participants will then develop specific
skills and knowledge in the areas of
communication, environment, holistic
person-centred care, and legal/ethical
aspects of practice, before having the
opportunity to practice and apply these
skills with an experienced dementia
actor.
