Person Centred Care in the Community
- Administrator: Pauline Henderson

- Administrator: Judy Bartholomew
This is a stand alone module for community workers. People undertaking the Acute Care course are not required to complete this module.
This module is directed towards assisting you to develop a deep understanding of the importance of working in a person centred way in community settings. In order to put the person with the dementia at the heart of your work in this field, you will need to understand all of the supports and opportunities that your community has to offer people with dementia and their carers. We hope that this module will give you the knowledge you need, and inspire you to connect the people you care for into their communities in enriching ways.
