Cordia
University leads on dementia education for home carers
Cordia, Scotland’s largest provider of care at home services, has called on Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) experts to consult on the development of a dementia education training programme for home carers. Dementia affects about 800,000 people in the UK. The risk of developing dementia increases with old age, and with an increasingly ageing population it is estimated that, by 2021, the number of people with dementia in the UK will have risen to around one million. Cordia currently delivers an
informed training programme on dementia to all home carers as part of their two-week induction programme and is looking to expand the programme to upskill carers to enable them to provide an excellent service for dementia sufferers. GCU nursing lecturer and
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde practitioner Dr Marie McAloon will support Jane McGuire, training advisor at Cordia, to develop, plan, implement and evaluate the training programme, using a combination of presentations, workshops and case studies, before the programme is rolled out to support carers throughout Cordia.
