Caregiver-Centered Care
Education designed for healthcare providers to support family caregivers.
Caregiver-Centered Care Education is co-designed to equip health and community care providers with the knowledge, skills, and resources to provide person-centered care to family caregivers. Person-centered care, that respects and involves family caregivers in the planning and delivery of support services for the care receiver, while also recognizing and addressing the family caregiver's own needs, preferences, and wellbeing. It is crucial for fostering meaningful and positive care outcomes for all involved in the care journey—providers, family caregivers, and the people they care for.

E-Learning Modules on Gerontological Care
Nursing Academic Instructors from the University of Alberta developed e-learning modules on gerontological care, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada as part of the Awakening Canadians to Ageism research grant. An advisory group emphasized the importance of accurate aging knowledge for nurses to combat ageism. Modules based on Canadian nursing competencies were well-received by student nurses. We would like to make these modules available to practicing nurses as well. The 10 interactive, evidence and case-based modules are available through the Alberta Gerontological Nurses Association (AGNA) as a part of our efforts to promote excellence in gerontological nursing and combat ageism in healthcare.
