About our courses
ADHERe is regularly commissioned by health and community care services as well as the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission
The ADHERe centre has been commissioned by various state and federal government departments and not-for profit organisations to develop resources that benefit health care professionals, older people and their family caregivers.
The ADHERe team were engaged to develop short courses on topics including Delirium Care, Dementia and Driving and Gerontological Nursing. Each course is eligible to go towards Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points for health care professionals.
The ADHERe team is available to deliver these courses via face-to-face/ virtual video conference events or we invite your own learning and development team members to use the material to deliver the short courses within your organisations. We can also work with organisations to provide you with access to the short course material for uploading or converting for use on your own ‘in-house’ learning platforms.
