This programme was developed by the Dementia Service Development Centre, University of Stirling, UK. JCCPA has been licensed to provide the certificate programme in Chinese language. As well as using the UK curriculum as a blueprint, the course takes into account local culture to ensure best practice. The programme promotes professional sharing and trains professional counterparts in the fields of medical, nursing and elderly care to become trainers, and prepare them to pass on the professional learning to other frontline workers. Trainers and students will receive a graduation certificate from the University of Stirling and JCCPA.
