The INDEED project launched its online learning platform on 21 July. The platform aims at upskilling professionals and entrepreneurs from the health and social field in regards to dementia. It is mainly aimed at general practitioners (GPs), nurses, social workers, physical/occupational therapists, neurologists, psychologists and service providers (e.g. "meals on wheels" or "Alzheimer Cafés").
The new platform has three distinct aspects:
-
CAMPUS contains information about dementia as well as person-centred and holistic approaches in dementia care.
-
CONNECT shares information about inter-professional collaboration and shared care plans.
-
COACH is about how to set-up dementia-related services from a business perspective.
Using animated videos, texts, charts, infographics, interview-videos and quizzes, the online platform aims to support professionals in rural areas with limited access to face-to-face trainings. Given the current restrictions for professional trainings due to COVID-19, the online format of INDEED's training may be particularly useful for professionals seeking to advance their knowledge in the area of dementia care. The INDEED project designed the platform to be fully in line with international medical standards and to support national dementia plans in South-Eastern Europe. In early autumn, the online platform will be available in Bulgarian, Romanian, Slovakian and Slovenian.
The platform, which is freely accessible, can be found here: indeed-project.eu
