R2108 - Understanding Dementia - Lessening the impact of dementia (10am)
TBC
Our online interactive training for health and care professionals is simple to understand, but is suitable for professionals working at any level with people living with dementia.
Dementia training aimed at professionals often has a biomedical emphasis, focusing on statistics, anatomical changes and deficits, leaving little time to consider the experience of those on the receiving end of care or interventions. Anyone working in this sector needs to understand how dementia affects the person, and not just how it affects their brain, body and behaviour.
Our approach focuses on well-being rather than on cognitive deficits. It is evidence-based and draws on the work of Tom Kitwood, Penny Garner, Naomi Feil and other experts in the field. Our courses look at the nature of dementia, how its effects on memory and behaviour differ from normal age-related issues, and the impact that has on well-being.
