About this session
More than 900,000 people live with a diagnosis of dementia in the UK, and most people will require a range of health and social care during their lives. To ensure healthcare professionals have the right skills, knowledge, and attitudes to support people with dementia, good quality education needs to be provided at undergraduate level. The Time for Dementia programme was designed at BSMS to meet that aim and help future generations of healthcare professionals learn about the real-life experiences of living with dementia.
In November’s monthly lecture, Yvonne Feeney will provide a background about dementia and discuss the learning experiences for students taking part in the Time for Dementia programme.
Yvonne is the Project Manager for Time for Dementia at BSMS and is also completing a PhD that aims to understand how empathy develops in healthcare students towards people with dementia. Yvonne is an adult nurse and has worked with people with dementia for most of her career.
Yvonne works as part of a collaborative team that have responsibility to implement and deliver Time for Dementia. You can find out more about the Time for Dementia team here >
