Dementia Awareness Training

Dementia Awareness Training

Dementia has the potential to be one of the most cripplingly debilitating and distressing disorders any individual can face in their lifetime. The term itself covers a wide range of conditions which in most cases lead to a similarly damaging effect on the brain – perhaps the most commonly known of all is Alzheimer’s disease.

Course Outline

Delivering the highest possible care standards for dementia patients / service users takes a very specific skill set and a deeper understanding of the condition itself – precisely what our Dementia Awareness Training course has been designed to begin building.

The mechanics and intricacies of dementia are immensely complicated – our course serves as an important introduction to the subject covering symptoms, causes and how to effectively approach, work with and care for those suffering from the various stages of dementia. Any individual who may come into contact with dementia patients / service users during their working lives could benefit enormously from this course. By shedding essential light on exactly what dementia is and how it effects the lives of those it effects and their loved ones, the course better-enables carers and other professionals to deliver a much higher standard of genuinely productive and empathetic care.
