This resource has been developed to support leaders and managers working across health and social care to implement the training outcomes of the Dementia Training Standards Framework, which identifies what staff need to know and be able to do across a range of subject areas and learning outcomes. This resource focuses in particular on those responsible for implementing training at Tier 2 level training, which provides additional skills and knowledge for people who regularly work directly with people living with dementia. The sections cover: identification, assessment and diagnosis; risk reduction and prevention; person-centred care; communication and behaviour; health and well-being; pharmacological interventions; living well and promoting independence; families and carers; equality, diversity and inclusion; law ethics and safeguarding; end of life; and research and evidence-based practice. Each section provides an overview of the subject area, explanations of the learning outcomes and signposts to relevant freely available resources or information. These can be used to supplement existing training provision, or combined with additional resources to create new training programmes. The resource was commissioned by Health Education England and developed by Skills for Care, Skills for Health and Leeds Beckett University. (Edited publisher abstract)
