Here you can find all the modules and masterclasses that we commission as part of our continuing workfroce development (CWD) portfolio.

You can filter the results by the following:

  • course type
  • university
  • level and credits
  • subject area

A masterclass is an update course lasting one day. Please read the description carefully around what will be delivered. A masterclass is not at master’s level. Some will be a basic introduction to a subject and some may be building on previous knowledge. A masterclass does not prepare anyone to deliver specialist services. We recommend you speak directly to your chosen university about the details of any masterclass you are interested in.

A module will have academic credits attached to it at either level 6 (bachelor degree level) or level 7 (master’s level). You will be expected to complete an academic assignment. Some modules will last for 9–12 months and some may be completed within three months.

You can also search via keyword using the search box on the right hand side.

There is also a PDF of the full portfolio available, which can be downloaded here.

What is it about?

This module will give you a critical insight into the mental health of older people, with a particular focus on the main demographically/epidemiologically prevalent issues of dementia, delirium and depression. As the ethos of the module is maintaining personhood, you will examine strategies for maximising independence, choice and mental well-being and develop a critical awareness of relationship-centred approaches.


Who is it for?
Individuals who are driving and enabling practice development.

What will participants learn?

The course covers the following topics:
mental health and the older person;
dementia, delirium and depression;
contexts of care, environment and the therapeutic milieu;
recovery, wellbeing and holism;
behaviour that challenges;
mental capacity and consent; and
person-centred care and relationship-centred care.
 

How will it be delivered?  
Combination of interactive lectures, seminars and workshops. You will also undertake directed study and use the e-learning portal.

How will participants be assessed?     
Assessment will consist of a case study (essay) focussed on an older person which will allow you to explore different perspectives on mental health and wellbeing. You will be required to evaluate a range of strategies and approaches with regard to their potential and actual effectiveness.

What experience / qualifications do participants need?     
Previous evidence of level 5 study. The student should work professionally with older people, who may have mental health needs.
