Understanding Dementia Together
An Interprofessional approach wins President’s award for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
This year was the sixth year of this excellent event with over 160 students from multiple disciplines in the College coming together to learn about Dementia.
The event is organised by a collaborative team from across the College, led out by Ms Trish O’Sullivan Discipline of Physiotherapy, Ms Niamh Moore Diagnostic Radiography and Professor Tony Foley Department of General Practice, Dr Aoife Fleming Vice Head for Interprofessional Learning.
Ann Twomey Director of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland spoke at the event on the importance of students working together in the future, as collaborative teams, to improve patient dementia care. The session highlights the importance of compassionate care and communication, and including patients and their families in their care decisions.
The impact of this event on student learning was recognised with a Team award at the UCC President’s Awards for Excellence in Teaching and Learning on 3rd December in the Aula Maxima.
Congratulations to all involved!
