“…staff in acute hospitals (Gould and Reed, 2009). This drive is underpinned by evidence that knowledge and skills in dementia care coupled with ongoing access to specialist support can prevent emotional exhaustion and can enhance communication skills and behaviour management techniques amongst this group of staff (Hyder et al, 2010). Related evidence suggests that, although such investment is expensive in the short term, it pays considerable dividends over time in improved quality of life for people with dementia, raised staff morale, more effective team working and lower staff turnover (Austrom, 1996;Vance and Davidhizer, 1997;Grant et al, 1998;Teresi et al, 1998;Brodarty et al, 2003).…”

Purpose -This paper seeks to provide an overview of The Admiral Nurse Academy, which provides a web-based resource for the clinical and academic development of all admiral nurses. Its role is to: facilitate changes to practice development and group supervision; support knowledge development and learning and regulate the Admiral Nurse Induction Programme. The introduction of the Admiral Nurse Competency Framework in 2003 marked its beginning.Design/methodology/approach -The paper provides background on the development and role of Admiral Nursing and an overview of The Admiral Nurse Academy in providing training.Findings -The need for Admiral Nurses to develop a transparent framework of regulating their practice and learning is consistent both with developments in nursing more widely and with recent UK policy emphasis on enhancing the quality of the dementia care workforce. In addition to offering a clinical and academic pathway tailored to each Admiral Nurse, the academy offers a route for those practicing at an advanced level to ensure their clinical expertise and leadership skills are commensurate with master's level qualifications. Dementia UK promotes and maintains the business development of admiral nursing. A senior Admiral Nurse group maintains and oversees the academy.Originality/value -At a time when public sector resources are shrinking whilst demands on care services and calls for improved care quality are increasing, The Admiral Nurse Academy offers a timely reminder of the importance of practice development for specialist nurses working with people with dementia and their family carers wherever they may be in the service system and whatever their level of need.

The study found that the majority of questioned trainers are still using the principles taught in the course successfully with persons with dementia living at home and the content was found to be relevant for practice. The content of the teaching course, applying principles of retrogenesis, which was originally designed for persons with dementia living at home, can also be successfully applied in the nursing home environment. Increasing interest has been shown by institutions employing professionals whose task it is to keep persons with dementia active and interested as well as physically functioning at their best possible level. As a consequence, persons with dementia perceive higher quality of life and exhibit fewer behavior problems which complicate care. More research is needed to accumulate evidence and to support these findings.

Credentialing dementia training: the Florida experience

Abstract: Form and content problems were prevalent across all curricular types. We propose the Florida credentialing program as a model to ensure that accurate and educationally sound curricula are used to train direct care workers.
