Other Services
DCM – Devised by Bradford Dementia Group, DCM is a clinical audit tool assessing the quality of life through the resident’s eyes. (As much as is possible). This process involves two trained assessors observing communal care areas by following individual residents. It is fully research based and validated. A written report is produced with non-judgmental comments and facilitation of person-centred interventions. HIQA regard DCM reports as acceptable evidence of good practice.
Practice Development – Working alongside staff, Dementia Training Ireland’s approach brings about Person-centred culture change. Strategies utilized include DCM audit, staff consultation/discussion, Staff training, Coaching.
Coaching – Led by registered nurse (on live register) some of our team will work alongside staff on the ground, role modeling communication techniques, behavior interventions, stimulation/activity techniques. (Fully covered by professional indemnity insurance)
Managerial Training –Culture change must be manager led and this service offers discussion and information for managers.
(*) Please note that all our workshops are delivered with two traininers.
