Overview
Dementia is a mental disorder that stems from a decline or loss of memory power or other thinking skills, making day to day activities very challenging. Most of the dementia cases are progressive and have no cure or treatment. However, your healthcare professional might put you on medications to improve your symptoms, which is why it is important to detect dementia sooner to get the appropriate treatment. This Award in Awareness of Dementia – Level 3 has been formulated exactly for this purpose and is suitable for anyone within an interest in the subject.
This comprehensive course will thoroughly enlighten you on dementia to help you understand its process and symptoms. You will then get to explore the person-centred approaches to administering medication for individuals with dementia, followed by modules that will guide you on how to communicate and interact with people who have dementia.
This awareness program will also help you comprehend the diversity of people with dementia and the importance of practicing inclusion with them to make them feel accepted. By the end of this course, you will walk away with valuable knowledge that will ease your interaction with people who has dementia.

Helpful video training
The video series was helpful and informative, and really a great way to make a mark on the learner. Learning through videos is so much more enjoyable and interactive. It also helps retain the information.

While the course content could be complex at time, it was structured and straightforward making learning an absolute pleasant experience. I have recommended this course to my colleagues.
Concise and clear
The course content on dementia awareness was very clear with a given set of instructions. I learned more than anticipated at SLC. I hope to apply my new found knowledge in the place I work, mostly with patients with dementia.
