Dementia Training
More than 90,000 people in Scotland are living with dementia and this number is forecast to increase over the next decade. Early diagnosis of the condition is crucial and can help prolong the quality of life for people living with dementia.
We offer online and in-person training courses to raise awareness of dementia, help people learn how to be more inclusive of people living with the condition, and for carers to be better informed about their rights.
Workshops run regularly throughout the year and there are also self-study options, which allow you to complete courses in your own time.
