Bernie McCarthy is a licensed trainer in DCMTM and provides training in DCMTM throughout Australia.

DCMTM is the parent tool from which the SOFI-2 (used by the Aged Care Quality Agency Australia in the accreditation process) is derived.

Evaluate and improve the quality of dementia care in your aged care facility with this unique evidence based tool. DCMTM is a method designed to evaluate quality of care from the perspective of the person with dementia. It is used in aged care facilities and is based on the philosophy of person centred care, which promotes a holistic approach to care that upholds the personhood of the one with dementia.

The process of using DCMTM involves observing a number of people with dementia over a period of time and recording information about their experience of care, analysing and interpreting the data and then feeding it back to staff. This information is then used to draw up an action plan to bring about change and improvements to the wellbeing of the people observed.

Training to use DCMTM is a 4-day course which licences the user to map in their own facility. A further 4-day course is recommended for leaders of mapping in organisations.

  1. Hi there
    Would the 3 day extra course enable you to train others if you are already trained?
    Many thanks

    • Hi Maria
      I presume by the ‘3 day extra course’ you mean the Using DCM for practice and research. This course does not enable you to train others. To train others you would need to engage in a training program through the University of Bradford and apprentice on four courses and fulfill some other requirements. I suggest you contact Professor Murna Downs at Bradford School of Dementia Studies at the following link. http://www.bradford.ac.uk/health/dementia/dementia-care-mapping/
