According to the NHS, almost a million people in the UK are living with dementia, with 1 in 11 people over 65 affected. And with life expectancy increasing, these numbers are expected to rise.
For those living with dementia, the right care, given as early as possible, significantly improves quality of life. Health and social care workers who assist aged people must be able to recognise dementia symptoms and offer support to those affected.
Our Dementia Awareness e-learning course helps develop this vital knowledge. It outlines how dementia affects memory, behaviour and communication, helping caregivers better understand the people they support and navigate daily challenges. It also provides guidance on adopting the person-centred care approach considered best practice in the health and social care sector.
Caregivers play a vital role in ensuring the safety, dignity and well-being of people with dementia. A person-centred approach – recognised by the Department of Health & Social Care as best practice – should be adopted at all times.
Effective dementia care must be tailored to the individual’s needs, values and preferences. Recognising those living with the condition as unique people and respecting their autonomy are proven contributors to better care outcomes.
The care environment also has a significant impact on well-being. Caregivers must consider factors like comfort, routine and privacy when supporting individuals with dementia. Conversations about care should take place in familiar settings involving trusted individuals. Information must be broken down and relayed in the clearest language possible to help dementia patients understand their choices and make informed decisions.
Our Dementia Awareness Training course provides essential guidance on best practices in dementia care. It covers the principles of symptom management, person-centred approaches and creating dementia-friendly environments. By completing this training, caregivers will be better equipped to support those living with dementia and provide high-quality care.
