About this course
Further to completion of the Care Certificate course, this course is designed to support health and social care workers, who are new to supporting individuals living with dementia, with an introduction and understanding of Dementia and their responsibilities relating to this.
The course begins by explaining what Dementia is. It then sets out how to support individuals living with dementia by relating the theory of the relevant care certificate standards to working practice. For example, ‘duty of care’ outlines how to consider the Mental Capacity Act, ‘work in a person-centred way’ looks at dementia friendly environments and ‘Awareness of Mental Health and Dementia’ explains why an early diagnosis is important.
In module 2, the final stage of the course, we look at scenarios and strategies that will strengthen the knowledge through examples of experience. The scenarios support each standard relevant to caring for individuals living with dementia.
Guided Learning Hours: up to 30 minutes, dependent on learner’s skills and abilities.
