About the Course

This course has been devised to respond to the needs of employers who want to have their staff aware in the field of dementia without having to release them from the workplace.  It focuses on the essential factors that staff need to be aware of when working with those with dementia.  It can be tailored to the needs of the organisation and delivered in-house which reduces time spent away from the residents.  Workbooks will be used for this course as learners can undertake independent learning in addition to the underpinning knowledge delivered by the tutor.  It can be delivered over several days or extended to a longer period of learning according to the needs of the employee role and responsibilities as well as the organisational needs.

Course Content

The key content for this Bespoke course covers: Understand what dementia is; Understand key features of the theoretical models of dementia; Know the most common types of dementia and their causes; Understand factors relating to an individual's experience of dementia.  Within this terminology, key functions of the brain and links to depression are explored.  Models of dementia are outlined, causes, signs, symptons and risk factors are all discussed.  Individual experiences of living with this condition are described and the impact that attitudes and behaviours of others on the individual with dementia will be considered.

Success Story

We continually update our information about student success. Emma Russell was a student on the Subsidiary Diploma who progressed to the Extended Diploma in 2010-11. She is now in her first year studying a nursing programme at the University of Southampton. Emma was a model student, enthusiastic and committed and was in receipt of an award at the annual College Awards evening in 2011. The reason why we have so many successful students is evident from the report made by Ofsted in March 2011. Some of their comments are as follows:

"Teachers are very experienced and enthusiastic"

"Technology is used very effectively to support learning"

"Leadership and management are good"

"Interesting activities are well planned to inspire and challenge students and are linked appropriately to workplace activities"

"92% of all lessons in Health and Social Care and Early Years are good or better"

Learning Style

Learning styles determine the best way in which you learn. Some prefer to read and look at visual material known as visual learners, others will rather listen to spoken words or music that conveys a message. We refer to them as auditory learners. Many learners who want to work in a practical setting are `hands on` or are referred to tactile kinaesthetic learners. Through a simple activity and questionnaire we identify the preferred style and as teachers it informs the way in which we deliver our lessons to encompass all the different learning styles. After all, you may be equally more than one and lessons that underpin knowledge need to appeal to the way in which you learn to maximise your potential to internalise all the information that is presented to you. There are lots of ways to help you including a software programme used here at City College. It is called ClaroRead and it enables you to change the colour of the font, the background, the size of the text and many other features. For those of you who want to proof read your work, there is a function that will read back your work to you! Just one of many exciting ways that we use to help you to learn and retain that information.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must be aged 19+ and have a level 3 qualification and needs to be in the role of manager/assistant, manager and deputy or manager or senior carer.  They should be responsible for team meetings and supervisions.  As this is a unique course which promotes best practice and works at a higher level than previous qualifications, it is essential that candidates are prepared for the commitment of the course and meet the criteria for entry.  An interview by a member of the Health and Social Care Team will be required prior to entry to determine the appropriateness of the candidate and to ensure they are working at the right level to undertake this programme of study.  Individuals are welcome and Employers who wish their staff to complete the programme in order to meet industry needs.  Candidates from differing backgrounds contribute to the richness of the learning experience so those working across all sectors of the health and social care field are encouraged to apply for a place.

Learning Style

All learners will attend an Induction Day in which they will undertake a range of skills tests to determine the level at which they are working and to identify any support needs that they might have.  On this day the learners will identify their learning styles - an important tool that assists tutors to differentiate in the learning environment.  Some learners prefer conventiional methods of underpinning knowledge delivery which can be visual, auditory or a combination of both.  Others may prefer a more practical hands-on approach (tactile/kinaesthetic). There is a software package available on College PCs called Claro read that enables the learner to change colours, size, background, fonts and allows text to be read back for proof reading purposes. If you have a learning difficulty or believe you would benefit from this software please ask the Programme Leader during your interview for more details.

Equipment Requirements

All learners will be required to provide a portfolio of work which will require a lever arch folder and a separate folder for handouts and other resources.  Stationery items such as pens, notepads, pencils, erasers, rulers, calculators should be produced by the learner.  PCs are provided in the College although personal laptops can be used as there is Wi-Fi facility available. Memory sticks can be purchased from the College shop.

Assessment

All learners are allocated a named assessor on the Induction day.  A combination of written work, observations, witness testimonies, oral questions, professional discussion are all used in gathering evidence to culminate in the final qualification.  Teaching and assessment works most effectivey with tutor/assessor/employer/learner working in partnership together.

Appointments will be made by assessors on the days when leaners attend College.  The structure of the course is such to maximise the time and efforts put in by all concerned.  Observations will take place in the work place to assess competence.  Knowledge will be tested through a combination of methods including written assignments.

Progression

These qualifications replace the current Level 4 NVQ in Leadership and Management for Care Services and the Level 4 NVQ in Health and Social Care, which are accepted as entry requirements to a number of HEI programmes. These qualifications will be the accepted qualification for registration and regulation where appropriate and can demonstrate continuing professional development.

Additional Information

Fees to be confirmed.  Please enquire for more details.   This course will require a commitment by the learner to self-directed learning at this level. Learners are therefore required to undertake research, develop their skills in this and to make use of the recommended websites, books, journals and CityBit which can be accessed from outside of the College if you are an enrolled learner.

STUDENT LOANS - COMING SOON!  Are you 24+ and resident in the UK?  From April 2013 there will be student loans available for level 3, 4, 5 programmes.  You can apply as long as you have not been funded before for this course.  You can also apply if you already have a higher qualification.  For more details, please enquire during interview or ask staff during one of our open evenings.
