Abstract

Understanding Dementia: Class in a Bag is a simple concept with a big impact. Like many innovations, Class in a Bag appears to be straightforward. It is a bag containing the things that student nurses need to take into schools to deliver dementia education to children. The content is designed to provide experience-based learning that changes the way children think, feel and do about dementia. It is also a resource designed to inspire and enable professional learning with and for student nurses. Underpinned by Care Empathia Pedagogy, Class in Bag supports a compassionate, age-appropriate approach to dementia education. We were quietly very pleased with our creation, so much so that when encouraged to apply for CATE we had a go, and then another go!
