Older People: Key Knowledge and Skills for Providing Effective Support.
A 3-day course. (2-day version also available.)
There are certain things that everyone working in this area 'really should know'. This course covers them.
This course is designed for professionals who work daily with older adults and, as the title suggests, it is designed to impart the very most important knowledge and skills for doing so. It therefore covers person centred care, the National Service Framework for older adults, matching professional with service user, and, above all, how physical health, mental health, the environment and behavior all interact.
