In yesterday's webinar, 'Enhancing dementia support through ongoing engagement and learning', we dove into innovative approaches to enhance the quality of care delivered to people living with dementia through meaningful engagement, and workforce up-skilling. These two projects from Dementia Australia are providing aged care professionals with easily accessible, engaging technology to practice and improve their communication skills and delivery of person-centred care is critical. 🔹 Amanda Eddy-Lacey, Dementia Australia: "Using technology to transform workforce capability and capacity to improve the quality of care delivered to people living with dementia” 💻 Explore project outcomes: https://zurl.co/nlrF 🔹 Vanessa Watkins, Deakin School of Nursing & Midwifery; Centre for Quality & Patient Safety Research: "Improving workforce capability and capacity in communicating with people living with dementia (PLWD) using an artificially intelligent (AI) avatar” 💻 Explore project outcomes: https://zurl.co/WBHO 🙌 Big thanks to our presenters for their insights and to everyone who joined us.
