National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners
Alzheimer's and Dementia Staff Education Week

NCCDP Declares February 14th to the 21st

NOTICE: The Staff Education Tool Kit now costs $150.00. Anyone who had registered previously will now need to purchase the tool kit in order to have access.

The newest component of the NCCDP is Alzheimer’s and Dementia Staff Education Week Tool Kit. The Tool Kit is available at www.nccdp.org. The Tool Kit and the declaration by the NCCDP Alzheimer's and Dementia Education Week February 14th to the 21st 2009 was developed and implemented to bring awareness to the importance of staff educators being trained and certified in dementia care and to provide education by means of face to face interactive classroom environment and to provide comprehensive dementia education to all healthcare professionals and line staff.

Currently there are no national standards for dementia education. The regulations are different from state to state. The NCCDP recommends at minimum an initial 8 hours of dementia education to all staff. Through out the year, additional dementia education should be provided that incorporates new advances, culture change and innovative ideas.

In addition to facilitating the Train the Trainer programs, The NCCDP promotes dementia education and certification of all staff as Certified Dementia Practitioners (CDP®). The NCCDP recognizes the importance of trained and educated dementia unit managers and certifying the Dementia Unit Manager as Certified Dementia Care Manager (CDCM®). Front Line First Responders need comprehensive Dementia training and the NCCDP provides Alzheimer’s and Dementia training to First Responder educators and certification as Certified First Responder Dementia Trainer.
