Key Knowledge & Skills for Working with Older People

 
There are certain things that everyone working in this area ‘really should
know’. This course covers them.

 
This course is designed for professionals who work daily with older adults and, as the title suggests, it is designed to impart the very most important knowledge and skills for doing so.
§ It therefore covers person centred care, the National Service Framework for older adults, matching professional with service user, and, above all, how physical health, mental health, the environment and behaviour all interact.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £4,110 plus VAT.

Working with Dementia and Strokes
 
Acquired brain damage is a potentially severe condition at any age, and especially so for older people. It is therefore vital that professionals know the best interventions.

 
This course examines acquired brain damage in older adults, the effect it can have and
what can most usefully be done about it. It therefore covers neuro-anatomy and medical intervention but its prime focus is on psychological treatment methods and, to this end, utilises case studies and practice of the relevant methods.

Working with Depression in Older People
 
Some older people really do have a lot to be depressed about, and it is
difficult to know how to help. This course shows how.

 

This course covers the psychological treatment of depression in older adults, leaning heavily on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques such as diary keeping and guided discovery, scheduling and de-scheduling, IPT based techniques including how to address bereavement, change in role, isolation and disputes, and biological factors such as lack of it, sleep, diet etc. Overall it aims to produce competence in helping depressed older adults.
