Invitation
Today
DCM (Dementia Care Mapping) is widely used in health and social care
organizations all over the world. This workshop looks at how we can use
the tool more efficiently to bring person centred care in to the dementia
care institutions in Denmark. Key themes such as organizational readiness
and implementation will be discussed. Ideas to translate DCM-language to
pedagogical daily life language will be shown. Key DCM projects from UK
and Denmark will be shared to allow greater understanding of what the tool
can do. Knowing the DCM tool itself is not enough to bring about a change
in the quality of person centred care.
This
workshop aims to widen our understanding for successful implementation of
DCM.
Don’t
miss the opportunity to meet DCM-colleagues in Denmark and to get
inspiration to work with DCM and talk about person centred care in
different ways. Acknowledge
our workshop as a stem forward to improve the quality of life for persons
with dementia, their caregivers and family members. Remember to tick-off
this workshop in your calendar.
