The DCM Refresher Course is designed for individuals who have previously completed the standard Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) course. This half-day course allows participants to revisit the DCM observation and coding process, practise mapping, review coding rules, and strengthen their confidence in applying DCM. Importantly, DCM provides a structured approach to assessing an organisation’s strengths in delivering person-centred care.

About This Course
Dementia Care Mapping involves careful observation, coding and interpretation. For those who have previously completed DCM training, refreshing these skills can provide an opportunity to revisit the mapping process and practise applying the coding rules.
In this half-day refresher, participants will review key aspects of the DCM observation process and coding rules before taking part in mapping practice. Participants will also review their mapping results, check concordance and revisit the reporting process.
The course is intended as a refresher for previously trained DCM participants, rather than a replacement for the standard DCM course.

Participants should bring the following:
- DCM 8 User’s Manual (spiral bound)
