Masterclass Series 2020
This masterclass series is a preparatory session for staff and family members caring for someone with an intellectual disability recently or likely to be diagnosed with dementia. The focus of this series of masterclasses is to help us to reflect on, and to plan for, how we can optimise high-quality person-centred dementia care. Every masterclass will build on each other and look at the challenges and opportunities in care across the continuum of dementia.
