Description

Dementia is used to describe the symptoms that occur when the brain is affected by specific diseases and conditions. Dementia is a chronic progressive problem of cognition – which is failure of the brain’s functions. IT affects people at different stages of life, it affects different parts of the brain and it affects it at different speeds.

Our Dementia Awareness online training is designed for those working with people with dementia, any care worker or healthcare professional. It covers how dementia affects individuals, the importance of good communication and the methods to improve the wellbeing of people with dementia. Upon successful completion, learners will be certified in dementia and receive a downloadable or printable certificate in dementia care.

There are currently 850,000 people suffering from dementia in the UK alone and numbers are set to increase to over one million by 2025. Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and stressful. With the right support, however, it can be rewarding and often satisfying. Avoid issues and misunderstandings which could negatively impact your organisation. Ensure your staff handle dementia patients in a sensitive and understanding manner.

CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves.
