Current Dissemination


  • The project details have been shared with relevant professional bodies including the Division of Clinical Psychology (DCP) of the British Psychological Society as it relates strongly to their recent activity on workforce development and clinical psychology training competencies.
  • The Project details for Care Clusters (18-21) for working with clients living with Dementia were shared during a presentation at the Faculty of the Psychology of Older People, DCP, conference at Oxford in June 2016.
  • It is envisaged that there will be a number of journal articles published to highlight the quality of this work.
  • Further dissemination, audit and outcome studies will be dependent on additional funding sources.
  • For further suggestions re dissemination see Page 46 of the Skills Development report.
