On this course, you’ll learn how to be better prepared and supported for living with dementia yourself or caring for someone living with the disease.

You will learn ways to ensure good quality of life and comfort for both the carer and the person living with dementia.

This course is for designed for people living with dementia, or dementia carers and families of people with dementia.

The course is also ideal for healthcare professionals who ar interested in learning more about dementia or who are involved in caring for people with dementia.
