| Distance Learning Dementia Courses - (Short Course) |
|---|
It is now possible to study Dayspring’s commended courses in dementia by distance learning. Most courses have been adapted for this method of teaching and are ready to access at any time. Participants may take any number of courses from one to all of them - and there is an optional examination for participants who wish to earn a Dayspring Accreditation Certificate.
Most people take “Learning Matters - Core Skills in Dementia” or “Brainwaves - Theory & Practice of Dementia for Nurses” as a first step. Both these courses cover dementia theory and practice, define what we are dealing with and what we are not, discuss types of dementia and their effects, matters of identity and communication, behaviour and activities (and their connection). The one for nurses is rather more scientific and contains material which is likely to appeal to people who already have nursing qualifications.
The other courses they offer are:
* Synergy - Activities, resources and assessments in dementia
* Challenges in Practice - Behaviour & Ethical Issues in dementia
* MusicWorks - working with the emotions with people with dementia
* Sensation - multi-sensory working with people with dementia
* Food for Thought - the issues around food for people with dementia
* Grace Notes - Spirituality & People with Dementia
* Legend - Story and the Person with Dementia
* Wellspring - the Advanced Course (this is individually prepared & taught to each person). | | Funding/fees | Learning Matters OR Brainwaves and one other course £65 (instead of £70)
LM or BW and two other courses £95 (instead of £105)
LM or BW and three other courses £125 (instead of £140)
LM or BW and four other courses £155 (instead of £175)
LM or BW and five other courses £190 (instead of £210)
LM or BW and six other courses £220 (instead of £245)
LM or BW and seven other courses £250 (instead of £280)
LM or BW and 7 other courses, followed by Wellspring
As Wellspring is an individually designed course, it always costs £70, therefore the cost is:
LM or BW & 7 other courses + Wellspring = £250 + £70 = £320 |
