What makes the Person-Centred Dementia Studies PG Certificate at the University of Worcester special?
Our Postgraduate Certificate in Person-Centred Dementia Studies has been designed specifically for current or potential future managers or leaders of dementia services in health and social care organisations, charities or businesses.

It aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills and resources to enable them to reach their full potential as skilled care givers, managers and leaders.
