Survey

The surveys being run by SA & NT DTSC are part of the Dementia Training Needs Analysis project 2010.

The aim of this study is to identify the skills, attributes and knowledge sets required by health professionals to deliver care and services to enhance the quality of life of people with dementia and their carers.

The resulting skills, attributes and knowledge sets identified from this study will be used to develop learning/teaching resources to be used in the training of health professionals so that they may deliver care and services to enhance the quality of life of people with dementia and their carers.

Part A: Residential Care Dementia Training Needs Survey – an online survey of aged care service providers. To find out more about this survey click here.
