Learning outcomes and objectives

• To understand the basis of person-centred care and where it comes from.

Half day courses usually run from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. / 1.00 p.m. to 4.00 p.m.

Organising training at your place of work is particularly valuable for group learning and delivers direct cost savings for more than five people. It allows the training session to be geared to specific issues which affect your workplace and your team including, if relevant, working with your particular equipment.
