<p>We want all relevant staff and volunteers to have received appropriate training
to provide high quality care to people with dementia, whether in hospital or in the
community.</p><p>Individual trusts are responsible for ensuring their staff and volunteers
are trained to carry out their role. Volunteers supporting the delivery of clinical
care receive training when they join and will only engage in activities within their
role-specific training and qualifications. They will perform tasks within safeguarding
guidelines with clinical staff at hand to support.</p><p>There are a variety of resources
available on the NHS England E-learning for Health platform, including a programme
on dementia care, designed to enhance the training and education of the health and
social care workforce.</p><p>Guidance on dementia care in hospital is referenced in
The Dementia Care Pathway: Full implementation guidance, and signals that commissioners
should continue to actively engage in local system leadership. An improvement agenda
should be developed jointly with key partners, including healthcare providers, social
care, local government, and the voluntary and independent sectors.</p>
