A new suite of 10 dementia education training films has gone live.
The full series of training films has been developed by NHS Gloucestershire ICB with the ethical guidance and approval of the University of Gloucestershire, aiming to upskill the local workforce and help families care for loved ones.
The films, developed in partnership with people who have lived experience of a dementia, highlight a range of topics which impact on people living with a dementia and their carers.
They capture the experiences of people living in care homes and extra care sheltered housing settings across Gloucestershire, with the aim of raising awareness and improving the quality of dementia care both locally and nationally.
The series also reflects the collective vision to create an original and engaging training resource that provides practical strategies and skills for health and social care professionals and carers who are supporting people living with a dementia.
Funding for this project was provided by NHS Gloucestershire ICB and the University of Gloucestershire Arts, Health and Wellbeing Centre.
Each film is designed to work as a stand-alone resource and can be viewed in any order, although watching the introductory film is useful initially, to understand the background to the project.
