Our Mandate Specific to Dementia “HEE will need to provide through LETBs in the development of training programmes to support staff to diagnose early symptoms of dementia and ensure they are aware of the needs of patients and their families and carers to enable them to provide safe, dignified and compassionate care. In particular, the GP workforce needs to be developed to ensure it has the skills necessary to identify and work with patients”. (DH Mandate 2013 p.9)

Our Mandate Specific to Dementia 1.All NHS staff that look after patients with dementia will go through a dementia awareness programme (foundation level) training by March HEE will ensure that 100,000 staff have foundation level training by March HEE will work with stakeholders to develop concrete plans by Autumn 2013 for a rapid roll out, so that all NHS staff that look after patients with dementia will receive foundation level dementia training. This will programme will: Enable staff to spot the early symptoms of dementia Know how to interact with those with dementia Signpost staff to the most appropriate care: it will be backed up with more in-depth training of expert leaders and staff working with people with dementia 4. The training should also raise awareness of the increased likelihood of mental health problems in those people with long-term conditions

Dementia – A National Priority The Government’s goal is that the diagnosis, treatment and care of people with dementia in England should be among the best in Europe. NHS England Mandate HEE will need to support training for staff to deliver better prevention and care to patients with long-term conditions….

Tackling the challenge… 1.Scope current practices 2.Identify a lead LETB – Health Education South West 3.Engaging the right people across health and social care – Co-production and patient/user/carer centric 4.Design and build a community of practice 5.Develop three tiered dementia education and training model that is based on outcomes 6.Develop an interactive evidence based dementia education and training repository

Focused Approach towards Evidence Based Practice Need to generate and Share Knowledge and Skills Domain Members committed to developing shared values & competence Evidence Diffusion Knowledge Exchange Solutions Re-using assets new information Experiences Pulling resources Sharing Recording Visits Mapping Knowledge

Why are we doing all these?

Build on Progress and Co-Produce 5 year Dementia Strategy launched in 2009 Objective 13 – informed and effective workforce The Prime Minister Challenge on Dementia The National Dementia Strategy Workforce Advisory Group Department of Health work on raising awareness and commissioned pieces of work to support education and training

Framing the Future – Some thoughts…  Demographics  Identify organisations looking after dementia patients  Total staff complement per organisation  Total interacting with dementia patients – porters, housekeepers, receptionists etc  Content  In induction?  Mandatory training  Duration of training  Anticipated learning outcomes  Delivery  Mode – Blended learning? Or What?  Recording Evidence  Skills passport  ESR  Why the scoping exercise?  Ascertain the depth and breath of activity  Define and agree the components of Foundation Level Training
