As the average age of the UK population increases and we become ever more aware of early onset dementia a response is needed. This course will equip learners with an understanding of the principles of caring for individuals who are living with dementia. The course will help learners to understand how to put the individual at the heart of planning their care and how dementia affects individuals from different backgrounds differently in a range of contexts. We would recommend this course to learners who not only interested in working in the care sector but also to individuals who are home carers for their loved ones.
Study for the course takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) where you can study at any time and at your own pace. We ask that learners complete their courses within the given timeframe and that as a broad average most courses can take approximately 6-8 hours per week to complete. However, timeframes are flexible on a person-by-person basis should any learners require reasonable adjustments to their study plans.
