They will learn a range of communication techniques which will enable them to respond correctly to the different forms of dementia, whilst empowering and encouraging those with the condition. The course meets recommendations underlined by the Care Inspectorate, Care Standards and is designed for any staff in the social or health care sectors who may come into contact with those with dementia as part of their working role.
