Editor's Notes
- Use the maps on the table to write down how confident you feel about this statement- If you are new to this, you are with us here at the EIC. You want to get to Edinburgh Castle…
- There are 88,000 people with dementia in Scotland- 3,200 under the age of 65. Dementia has a huge impact on the lives of people – from the minute they receive a diagnosis or first notice that something is wrong. The support needed by people with dementia has to be for the individual- because everyone is different, and everyone will experience it differently. This puts a massive responsibility on us as care and support providers. There are 191, 000 people working in social services settings, 65% of whom work in care home, care at home and day care settings
- Plenty of resources to suit a variety of roles and skills needs for health and social services: www.knowledge.scot.nhs.uk/promotingexcellence : Informed about Dementia Dementia Skilled Improving Practice Promoting psychological wellbeing for people with dementia, their families and carers Dementia Acute Care learning resource Dementia Care in the Emergency Department Coming soon: Post Diagnostic Support learning resource for supporting people with dementia, their families and carers from diagnosis and throughout the journey For the social services sector: Enhanced dementia practice for social workers and other professionals – workforcesolutions.sssc.uk.com/NQSW (case sensitive)
- Discussion about these questions using the Promoting Excellence: planning for dementia learning and development guide Available at www.sssc.uk.com/promotingexcellence or contact promotingexcellence@sssc.uk.com for your copy The minimum required practice level does not relate to a worker’s seniority within their profession or organisation. Instead it relates to the involvement the worker has in promoting a good quality of life for people with dementia through their role in care, treatment and support. Planning for dementia learning and development begins with identifying the minimum required level of knowledge and skills and deciding how you and others can achieve and go beyond this level with support from your team or organisation
- Discussion about the Edinburgh Training Partnership, led by Scottish Care, Edinburgh City Council, the Edinburgh Council of Voluntary Organisations Supporting social care workers across Edinburgh to access dementia training and learning using Promoting Excellence and the free learning resources
- Having received £124,000 of Change Fund Money specifically for dementia training in care homes, the training partnership was established. Having appraised various training options and the resources involved, there was agreement to adopt and promote the Promoting Excellence Learning and Development Framework within City of Edinburgh Care Homes. Through Reshaping Care for Older People – Change Fund monies we are in a position to fund the release of staff. Each care home will be able to access up to £400 to cover costs associated,
- Learning journey undertaken by those with an interest in reshaping care for older people ‘Creating a positive culture’ and ‘developing a workforce fit for purpose’
- There are nearly 400 Dementia Ambassadors across Scotland working to support teams and organisations to develop their knowledge and skills for working with people with dementia, their families and carers. Ambassadors come from a range of public, third and independent sector settings, mainly care at home, care home and day care. The Role of SSSC Dementia Ambassador includes: 1. developing expertise in the content and philosophy of Promoting Excellence 2. acting as a conduit for SSSC in the dissemination of information about Promoting Excellence resources and products within your identified local area or burgeoning locality 3. as part of a network of Ambassadors, contributing to raising awareness of Promoting Excellence, resources and products and improving practice 4. holding small awareness sessions, offering peer support and/or signposting to sources of information and support creating sustainability in improving dementia practice built on effective networking and Ambassadorial support These activities can help you progress through the Continuing Learning Framework (CLF) by meeting your own professional developmental goals, for example by demonstrating leadership, mentoring and communication skills and other transferrable skills.
