Basic dementia awareness - 3 hour course
This course is aimed at administrators and staff working in non-frontline roles including outside of health and social care settings, in where an understanding of the difficulties that arise for people with dementia and their families and carers is required. We will explore what a diagnosis of dementia means, the key difficulties people experience with their activities of daily living, arising from deterioration in memory, attention and logical thinking ability. We will also focus on why communicating with a person with dementia is perceived to be complex and suggest some strategies that may help.

We will explore issues surrounding the behavioural stages of dementia and how the progressive deterioration of the disease affects daily living and communication.
