Successful Dementia Training

Last month our associate trainer, John Lewindon delivered a one day Dementia Awareness Programme for one of our regular clients as part of their workforce development programme. For your information, here are some of the comments that were made by participants.

Before taking this course I had little knowledge of dementia and Alzheimer's. I strongly enjoyed the course and found it very beneficial to myself as a carer. The activities learnt and carried out were thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you for giving me an insight into a very difficult subject, and for giving an understanding of dementia and what it could mean to that person to still be treated like a human being. Thank you.

John was an enthusiastic trainer with clear, vast knowledge. This is the second time I have completed this course. An excellent refresher with a good balance between factual information and managing in care settings.

When coming to the course, I thought I knew everything there was for me to do my job. I was wrong. I have learnt a great deal. The teacher was perfect for the job. Really enjoyed the course. Thank you.

An excellent course and has made me think differently about a number of my cases, and will encourage me to explore different methods and ways of communicating with people with dementia. I would like there to be regulation refreshers of this training.
