Entry Requirements

You must be a qualified practitioner.

Introduction

Dementia Through Different Lenses is one in a series of dementia study days; reflecting an essential paradox within dementia care that although dementia is an illness, it is only by being able to understand dementia from the inside out that enables us to provide high quality care.

This course is aimed at you if you are working within a variety of settings and have a basic understanding of dementia care.

You are welcome to attend either one, some or all of the dementia study days.

Student quote

"The best aspect of the course was learning new skills to put into practice."
