This face-to-face investigation was part of a project that extended to the most remote services in Australia
These services have been identified from Health Department records, and we contacted them with an invitation to complete a training needs analysis questionnaire, telling us about their special circumstances and needs.
In exchange for this information, the remote services were provided with a subscription to the bi-monthly publication Australian Journal of Dementia Care (AJDC) which is accompanied with a ‘Journal Club’ booklet, designed to guide a discussion of four AJDC articles. The idea being that the AJDC publication and booklet were used to support fortnightly meetings at which the staff can discuss one of the recent developments in the care of people with dementia described in the current issue of the AJDC.
