Developing a Bangor University Teaching Scholars Programme (2020–21) in partnership with BCUHB

Introduction

Pathway: Advancing Care for the Older Person

Overview Pathway: Advancing Care for the Older Person

The Advancing Care for the Older Person Pathway with BCUHB involves a discrete model for the provision of training and a package for delivering a training pathway within the Health Board.

The development of the ‘Teaching Scholars’ Programme provides a supportive infrastructure to build capacity and capability in the area of gerontological practice for multidisciplinary professionals in BCUHB.

It provides a framework for generating a cohort of Teaching Scholars that can deliver training on applied clinical work in support of older people, set within a scaffolding of peer support and sustainability, aligned to anchoring BCUHB ‘Teaching Scholars’ within Ageing& Dementia@Bangor
