Patients and service users have a well-established role in teaching and learning on professional qualifying programmes such as such as social work and nursing. However, the role of people with dementia in contributing to educational initiatives at higher educational level remains under explored. Four people with dementia were recruited as Expert by Lived Experience Tutors for the Foundation Degree in Dementia Studies at a University in the United Kingdom. They met students regularly to support their learning. We were interested in researching whether and how this enhanced the ability of students to enable people to live well with dementia. However, we also discovered that the initiative gave insight into psychosocial aspects of dementia, and a new opportunity to explore personhood, co-production and social citizenship. That is the focus of this article.
患者和服务使用者在社会工作和护理等专业资格课程的教学中发挥着成熟的作用。然而，痴呆症患者在高等教育教育计划中的贡献作用仍未得到充分探索。在英国的一所大学，有 4 名痴呆症患者被招募为生活经验导师的专家，参与痴呆症研究基础学位课程。他们定期与学生见面，为他们的学习提供支持。我们有兴趣研究这种方式是否以及如何提高学生使痴呆症患者过上美好生活的能力。然而，我们也发现，这一举措深入了解了痴呆症的心理社会方面，并为探索人格、共同生产和社会公民身份提供了新的机会。这就是本文的重点。
