Welcome to the Division of Dementia Studies
We're ready for the National Dementia Strategy, are you?
Bradford Dementia Group, (the Division of Dementia Studies) welcomes the National Dementia Strategy (NDS) (Department of Health, 2009) and looks forward to working with you in its implementation.
As many of you will be aware, a key aim of the National Dementia Strategy is to ensure an informed and effective workforce for people with dementia and their families. We have been meeting professional and practitioner needs for effective basic training and continuing professional/vocational development for more than 15 years. We deliver our training through a variety of formats, including face-face short courses and a flexible range of accredited programmes delivered by distance learning.
