What is dementia awareness training? 

 
Dementia has increasingly become a pressing issue across many societies. Statistics reveal that there are currently around 850,000 people experiencing dementia in the UK. Although it’s more common in older people, there are some instances where young people experience it too. 
 
This disorder affects many people, making it essential to understand what it is, what causes it, and how to assist people experiencing it, supporting them to still live full lives. Going through dementia awareness training will enable you to respond better and help anyone you know who is struggling with this condition. 
 
 
Dementia awareness training aims to equip people, especially care workers, with the necessary skills to support their service users. It also helps boost awareness of this condition and reduce any stigmas surrounding it.

Training with the Leicestershire Training Team 

 
Training is one of the most important aspects of anyone's working life, however it is commonly a source of boredom, resulting in a poor retainment of information. This is why we started thinking about training differently. For us, the training needs to be engaging as well as informative, so what you learn today, will be remembered tomorrow.  
 
Training with us is a unique experience, with a potent mixture of fun, interactivity, real life experience and expert advice. We only use trained professionals, such as our nurse trainers, to deliver our training. This way you are taught by someone with real hands on experience.
