Webinars
These webinars will be of interest to health professionals and others who are providing support and care to people living with dementia.
All presentations focus on the notion of personhood, as originally proposed by Tom Kitwood. This is the underlying philosophy of the Dementia Learning Centre.
The webinars are designed to support learning at an individual level. They could also be used as an educational support when providing in service sessions to staff.
