South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

Excellence in dementia care across general hospital and community settings.

Learning opportunities 2014-2015



Introduction

At South Tees Hospitals Foundation Trust (STHFT) we strive to consistently deliver high quality care

that meets the needs of our patients and their families in our hospitals and community services. Our

organisational values place the patient central to everything we do and for those with dementia we

recognise that care is often complex and admissions to hospital can be life changing. It is therefore

vital that we all become dementia aware.

For those who have clinical contact with patients with dementia it is essential that they have the

right skills and knowledge to care competently and compassionately while promoting the individuals

personhood. The principles of good dementia care should maximise each individual’s rights, choices

and health and wellbeing.

This directory of training details all the available learning opportunities (2014-2015) available to

STHFT staff. Please refer to the excellence in dementia care competency framework if you need

assistance to determine the competency level and scope of training required.
