Our new Centre of Excellence, at Bruern.
In Autumn 2023, the Contented Dementia Trust moved to their new Centre of Excellence at Bruern, near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.
With new training facilities, an on-site restaurant and beautiful views over the surrounding meadows, we’ve combined the best of the old and the new, ready to take the Contented Dementia Trust into its next phase of expansion, to help as many people as possible benefit from the SPECAL method.
Many of you will remember the building where is all began, the old Cottage Hospital in Burford, which has a very special place in our hearts.
But for those of you who are new to our website, here’s a bit of history and background …
The Old Hospital (Burford)
‘Our Centre of Excellence is based in the original Cottage Hospital in Burford (Oxfordshire) where work on the SPECAL method first began.
This is the main venue where we have been based for the past thirty years, delivering our range of Courses and Services to family and professional carers.
The Friday Group has been taking place on a weekly basis at the Old Hospital for the same period, providing a working example of the SPECAL method in a communal setting and allows researchers and professional carers the opportunity to observe evidence-based practice.’
