The Dementia Services Development Centre has re-launched the online, undergraduate course ‘Improving dementia care’. This 15 week distance learning course is for health and social care practitioners looking to improve their knowledge and practice in the field of dementia care.

The course aims to:

• improve knowledge of current approaches to care and support for people with dementia and those who care for them
• develop better understanding of how to promote change in dementia care, improving outcomes for people with dementia.

In joining the distance learning courses in dementia studies, students become part of an international, multi-disciplinary community of students and academics, committed to creating change and improving dementia practice and the experience of living with dementia.
