Dementia Education and Training for the Multidisciplinary Student Healthcare Workforce: A Systematic Review
Effective interventions increased confidence and enjoyment of dementia care encounters, and interest in dementia specialty careers. Mandating evidence-based dementia skills programmes across specialties could ensure that students learn the skills and competencies required to be part of an effective future workforce and drive improvements in care quality. The findings offer valuable insights into developing a skilled dementia care workforce, with implications for both UK and international policy. Future research should incorporate patient perspectives to better evaluate the impact of educational programmes.
