INTRODUCTION<br />
The Graduate Certificate in Dementia Studies is a course that is<br />
ideally suited to health care professionals working with people<br />
who have dementia. The course is relevant to acute care, long<br />
term residential aged care, and community care settings.<br />
The course has a multidisciplinary focus. The varied backgrounds<br />
of students to whom the course is relevant reflect the growing<br />
need for high quality care for people with dementia across the<br />
health care sector.<br />
The course is aimed at facilitating students' learning in areas<br />
relevant to the management of dementia. The key areas addressed<br />
are the knowledge and critical approaches required to underpin<br />
students' practice as leaders in the area of dementia care.<br />
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS<br />
Students who are health care professionals with some previous<br />
experience or education in the area of working with people with<br />
dementia are eligible for admission. Although a relevant Bachelor<br />
degree is generally required, Registered Nurses with a hospitalbased<br />
diploma will be eligible for enrolment at the discretion of<br />
the course coordinator, after assessment of relevant prior<br />
education and/or experience.<br />

ACD5101 Advanced Concepts in Dementia Care 20<br />
ACD5102 Practical Aspects of Dementia Care 20<br />
NST5148 Independent Study 20<br />
Advanced Concepts in Dementia Care ACD 5101 will cover the<br />
theoretical underpinnings of care for people with dementia and<br />
support for their family carers. As well as exploring the<br />
pathophysiology of the various types of dementia, the associated<br />
trajectories, and the worldwide impact of increases in the numbers<br />
of people with dementia, students will critically examine the<br />
evidence basis for practice in this area, and relevant legal and<br />
ethical issues. Practical Aspects of Dementia Care ACD 5102 will<br />
require the students to attend approximately six settings to<br />
observe health care practice throughout the trajectory of dementia<br />
in order to consider the translation of theory into evidence based<br />
practice. In NST5148, Independent Study, students will write and<br />
carry out their own learning contract in a chosen relevant area.<br />
