Researchers at Bournemouth University have launched a new video-based dementia training series designed to support anyone wishing to use the Dementia Education And Learning Through Simulation 2 (DEALTS2) training materials in their own dementia training.
DEALTS2 is a simulation-based dementia toolkit to support the delivery of dementia education across health and social care. The Ageing & Dementia Research Centre were commissioned by Health Education England (HEE) (now NHS England) to develop the DEALTS2 resources, including the video series designed with five videos focused on:
1. Overview of the DEALTS2 programme
2. Risk reduction and prevention module
3. Person centred-care module
4. Communication and interaction module
5. How to evaluate sessions and ideas for ongoing support staff after the training
There are several simulation activities that form part of the DEALTS2 training. The video series is designed to enable those who deliver dementia training to see how these simulations work so that they can decide if they would like to use them in their own training.
To access the DEALTS2 train-the-trainer video series, you will need to complete this form.
DEALTS2 Training Toolkits
The video series is designed to be used alongside the DEALTS2 toolkits (i) DEALTS2 for face-to-face delivery and (ii) e-DEALTS2 for online delivery. The DEALTS2 Toolkits are free to download, use and adapt.
