There are an estimated 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, which makes it a common condition that many of us come into contact with on a regular basis.
Our Dementia Awareness Course helps to provide you with more information about the condition, its many symptoms and best practice for supporting customers and third parties with dementia that may come into contact with your business.
Understanding Dementia
Dementia is the coverall name for a set of symptoms which include memory loss, difficulty in thinking, with language or with problem solving.
They can be on a small or mild basis but usually someone living with these conditions will degenerate and they will become more severe. Dementia is usually caused when the brain is damaged by a disease such as Alzheimer’s or one of more strokes.
People with dementia symptoms could easily be your clients, customers or come into contact with your business in another way so it is essential you and your employees are fully versed in the best ways to support people living with dementia.
Dementia Awareness Course
Our online Dementia Awareness Course looks at many of the key aspects of dementia and provide an overview of the most common symptoms and types of dementia. The course looks at how dementia symptoms effect the brain and how it can affect different people in different ways.
Our Dementia Awareness Course also looks at strategies to use with clients and customers with dementia, ensuring different methods are available so you can find something to suit your situation. It also provides information on how to react most effectively to challenging behaviour and support the person exhibiting the signs of dementia.
Our online Dementia Awareness Course is designed to provide a basic level of training for anyone who works with or around people with dementia. This can be in a specific environment such as a care home or more general environments such as restaurants and cafés where people with dementia may be patrons.
Online training makes it easy and quick to get your employees trained in dementia awareness. The style of the courses ensures they suit a range of learner types and allow the learner to set the pace so they can ensure they fully digest all information.
The volume of people living with dementia just in the UK is evidence alone to suggest we need to be doing more in the workplace to be aware of the condition and training your staff appropriately is one clear way of raising awareness.
