The Getting to Know Me programme is for staff who are providing care and support to people living with dementia in general hospitals.
The Getting to Know Me training programme was developed with funding from the Greater Manchester Health Innovation and Education Cluster (GM-HIEC). The project took place during 2010-2013, and was a collaboration between The University of Manchester, Royal Bolton Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
The aim of the project was to pilot and evaluate dementia awareness training for staff working with people with dementia in general hospitals. The training materials that were an outcome of the project are freely available from this website.
