Dementia Awareness - VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Ashfield Services
Delivery Method: Virtual What's covered on the day?
People living with dementia are often also living without any real understanding of their condition from those who support and care for them. This half day course has been designed to help Delegates understand what Dementia is, how it impacts somebody’s ability to function and the difficulties a client may face. It explores how legislation impacts on how we deliver care and how we can be involved in helping a client live their life to the fullest, despite a diagnosis of Dementia.

Delegates will be assessed continuously throughout the session by the Tutor in order to be issued with a Certificate of Attendance.
