2-day course for artists (professional and non-professional) interested in working with people with dementia.
Delivered by Karrie Marshall tutor and author on behalf of Creativity In Care community interest company
Creativity with person centred care and compassion has a positive impact on health and wellbeing. Whether or not you are a professional artist, there is awareness of an emotional relationship with music, visual art, drama, puppetry and story. This 2-day programme aims to inspire and inform people interested in working creatively with people living with dementia.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Increased knowledge and understanding about forms of dementia and brain function
2. Increased confidence for using personal creativity and arts skills for meaningful interactions in care settings
3. Improved knowledge of inclusive, equalities approaches to the work
4. Gained awareness (through demonstration) of the B.I.C.E.P.S.TM model of care for positive communications with people with dementia
The tutor has a professional background in care, arts and education. She lectured in health & social care for ten years and developed the PDA in Care Services Management for Inverness College/UHI. Her books are: 'Puppetry in Dementia Care: connecting through creativity and joy' (2013) and 'A Creative Toolkit for Communication in Dementia Care' (2016) both published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
The 2-day course includes presentations, discussions and film clips of co-creating with people living with dementia over the past ten years. There will be opportunities to practice creating positive and enjoyable connections. Learning outcomes are measured using written questions, verbal responses and observation. A certificate is awarded following successful completion of the course.

'Creative Minds for Care Settings' - an in-depth creative communications learning programme for all staff in care settings, to increase confidence for working well with people in later stages of dementia. Includes putting knowledge into practice within current legislation, healthcare values and policies to maintain a motivated, inclusive and creative culture.
