| Annotation | This Supplement brings together ten papers that have addressed various perspectives on dementia education, training and knowledge transfer in the USA, UK and Australia. In Australia as in other countries, the social care workforce and the setting is changing. More people are being cared for in the community rather than care homes; and, with a declining proportion of the residential care workforce who are qualified nurses. It is imperative therefore that education and training moves to address the changing needs of the workforce caring for people who are living with dementia in any setting. The papers in this Supplement were solicited by the guest editor and approved by the editorial panel of International Psychogeriatrics. They were invited and reviewed by the guest editor, the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, and the Editor in Chief but have not undergone the standard journal formal peer review process. They may be cited. (KJ/RH). |
