The number of people suffering for dementia is growing
each year. Therefore there is a demand for all health care
professionals to re-design existing interventions and also
to develop forward-looking strategies for better care of
older people with dementia.
The ERASMUS Intensive Programme offers 30 students
in the fields of nursing and health from five European
countries the opportunity to gain in-depth insight into
significant health problems and possible intervention
strategies in the field of dementia care.
Learning together in an international group enables
participants to reflect on how socio-cultural backgrounds
as well as differences in health care systems influence how
persons affected by dementia and their relatives can be
best supported.
Of course, there will also be opportunities to have fun
together and build new networks.
