Our course, for up to 20 of your staff, is designed for professionals in health, social care, social work, allied health, and third sector roles. We aim to build a sustainable workforce that moves away from ‘reinventing the wheel’ with every dementia diagnosis. We equip managers and staff with the practical knowledge and confidence required to bring about immediate change in practice, which enhances the quality of life and support for individuals with a learning disability. 

Aims

• To enable attendees to provide individualised, practical and evidence-based support for people with a learning disability and dementia.
• To develop the knowledge and confidence to plan ahead for people ageing with a learning disability.
• To enable you to demonstrate how your organisation is meeting national or local dementia standards and regulations in relation to diversity, equality and equity.
