Caring for people living with Dementia: Enhancing Awareness

To increase knowledge and skills to care for people affected by dementia.

Suitable for everyone working in health and social care settings. We recommend attending the Introduction to Palliative and End of Life Care course before attending this course.

Presentation, discussion, interactive rehearsals/demonstrations, simulation and small group work.

At the end of this short course, participants should be able to:

describe what dementia is and how it affects people (including significant others, families and carers)
be aware of the support needs of people living with dementia
explore communication and behaviour challenges and have strategies to manage these
consider the impact of the environment on a person living with dementia
