Overview
Do you want to change the way you care for people with dementia or improve the service you offer? Do you want to make sure any changes you consider are informed by the best available evidence? Do you want to learn more about how to find and interrogate evidence to ensure you are making the best decisions regarding care practice for the people with dementia?
This part-time online distance learning module can be studied as part of the Postgraduate Certificate Dementia Studies and is one of the core modules on the 3-year 3 Advanced Dementia Studies.
You are also able to take this module as a single, stand-alone module to gain 30-credits.
The module gives you the opportunity to consider the value of different types of evidence, including the role research plays in evidence-based practice, as well as other types of evidence such as clinical intuition/experience, narrative accounts from people with dementia and policy. You will explore evidence in relation to an area of practice need and formulate evidence-based recommendations for changing practice.
This programme is intended for UK and international students who are:
- Health and social care professionals who want to gain further knowledge about evidence-based dementia care practice
- Voluntary workers who already have contact with people with dementia
Our flexible approach allows you to combine study with work and home life. This online module is designed to be directly applicable to the workplace and to help you develop your own and your colleagues' practice.
The course is assessed fully online - you do not need to attend the University at any point during your studies. However, this does not mean you need to study alone - you will be part of a group of fellow national and international students passionate about improving dementia care.
