About this course
This course provides an introduction to dementia — explaining the typical symptoms people with dementia experience and how to provide care in a way that meets their needs. It was developed by the Dementia Training Centre - a collaboration between South London and the Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. The course is aimed at clinical support workers, but also offers an accessible introduction to dementia for any other healthcare professional. It includes many case examples, self-test quizzes and reflective exercises.
