It’s estimated that 850,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, making the condition incredibly prevalent, especially in a health and social care setting.
Dementia refers to a set of symptoms including problems thinking, loss of memory, and difficulty with language among others. It can also bring about changes in an individual’s mood or behaviour. This range of symptoms is obviously distressing for the sufferer and present real challenges for carers. Dementia awareness training seeks to equip care staff with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively and empathetically handle individuals with dementia.
Our dementia awareness course is usually delivered over one day, though it can be reduced to a half day or extended depending upon the requirement of the staff being trained.
Topics covered during dementia awareness training include:
During the course, all delegates will be issued with informational handouts. The course is made up of group work, case studies, theory and personal reflections to enhance learners' understanding of dementia.
On completing the course, participants will receive an awareness certificate.
