Learning about the Patient: an innovative interprofessional dementia and delirium education programme

Abstract

These results are pertinent given the findings of the Francis Inquiry, which identified significant care deficits within a culture of failing to practice in a patient-centred manner. As the core material focuses on learning about the patient, rather than the disease process, this programme may help address these gaps. Arguably our findings are of relevance to other innovators seeking to teach effectively in the hospital setting and improve patient care.
