AWARD IN DEMENTIA AWARENESS

Our Dementia Awareness Course is designed to improve understanding, confidence, and compassionate practice when supporting individuals living with dementia. This course provides learners with the essential knowledge and practical strategies needed to deliver person-centred care that enhances dignity, communication, and quality of life.

Throughout the course, learners will gain a clear understanding of what dementia is, including common types, symptoms, and how the condition can affect behaviour, memory, communication, and daily living. Emphasis is placed on recognising the individual behind the diagnosis and understanding the emotional and psychological impact dementia can have on both individuals and their families.

Learners will develop practical communication techniques to support positive interactions, reduce distress, and build meaningful connections with individuals living with dementia. The course also highlights the importance of creating a safe, calm, and compassionate environment, helping learners to respond effectively to changing needs and behaviours.

This course is suitable for caregivers, care home staff, health and social care professionals, activity coordinators, and anyone who wishes to improve their understanding of dementia and provide more effective, empathetic support.

On completion, learners will have increased confidence in delivering dementia-aware care and supporting individuals in a way that promotes respect, independence, and wellbeing.
