Course aims and objectives

This course is aimed at all staff in health and social care who support people living with dementia. During the course, delegates will be given various pieces of specialist equipment to wear that will replicate how it may feel for a person living with dementia. They will then be assisted to move using a range of different pieces of equipment and techniques.

The course will be promoting dignity and respect for people living with dementia. Also raise awareness of communication barriers that someone living with dementia may experience, such as aphasia.

At the end of the training session, there is a short written assessment to evidence the learning of the attendees.
