Description

This comprehensive Unicare online course is designed for care workers who work with and support on a daily basis individuals who suffer from dementia. The key focus of the course is to raise awareness and educate the carer in order to drive up the quality and standard of care for dementia sufferers who require either full-time or supported care.

The course consists of four modules:

  • In the first module: the causes and symptoms of dementia are explored along with the effects these have on the brain. The processes and techniques for diagnosis dementia are also examined.
  • The second module: focuses on the range of of treatments currently available for people with dementia. Later in this module we explore the law in relation to dementia and in particular the two key pieces of legislation that underpin the care and protection of dementia sufferers. As part of this exploration of the legal aspects we also address the principles of: recording and record keeping, confidentiality and the protection of data.
  • The third module: explores the key features of person-centred care planning and the key issues that should be considered in relation to care planning. Also in this module we examine the main problems, both physical and psychological faced by dementia sufferers.
  • In the final module: there is a detailed exploration of the care requirements and delivery for individuals suffering form dementia. All aspects of care are explored in great detail, in order to arm the carer with ideas for best practice in an attempt to drive up the standards of care delivery in this very difficult and demanding area.

The content of this course covers the Skills For Care Knowledge Set for Dememntia and studying these modules will enable students to understand the:

  • Main causes of dementia
  • Effects of dementia on the brain
  • Symptoms and manifestations of the condition
  • Means by which the condition is diagnosed
  • Range of available treatments and approaches (both pharmacological and non- pharmacological)
  • Law in relation to dementia and dementia sufferers
  • Care planning process for dementia sufferers, with a particular emphasis on person-centred care planning (PCCP)
  • Key issues relating to recording care and maintaining records, whilst exploring the importance of confidentiality and data protection
  • Main problems faced by dementia sufferers, which may be physical, psychological or emotional
  • Principle aspects of care delivery and support required by dementia sufferers.

This comprehensive and detailed course is designed to greatly extend the knowledge base of carers working within this very demanding area of dementia care. Through the detailed exploration of the principle aspects of care delivery and support required by dementia sufferers, it will help to drive up the standards of care within care organisations operating in this very specialised area of care.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
