Overview

Dementia Awareness Training

Dementia is a growing problem in our modern society. We are all getting older, but with life expectancy growing longer, everyone may experience or know someone who suffers from dementia one day. It is sad to watch a once lively person start to forget and then not remember their name.

Dementia is a word used to describe the symptoms when the brain is affected by specific diseases and conditions. It is a disease of the brain, characterised by memory impairment, impaired judgment, inability to perform skilled tasks, and personality changes. Dementia is not hereditary, yet it cannot be prevented entirely. Dementia is a condition that typically affects older people. It slowly destroys memories, thoughts, and reasoning abilities. This disease is more common now with the ageing population, and those who live at generally high risk for dementia are beginning to find out they have it.

With the increasing prevalence of these diseases comes an increase in awareness. If you wish to work with people suffering from dementia or already work with them, this is the Dementia Awareness video training for you. This Dementia Awareness course will give you an insight into what dementia is for many people and will help inform your thoughts on how to care for loved ones living with it. In addition, the Video training Dementia Awareness course enables you to understand dementia and its skills that will equip you to take on a job role in the health and social care industry.

More importantly, this Dementia Awareness course aims to empower you with information to speak up about the condition if you are experiencing it. It is not always easy to talk about your concerns or what may be happening. It also provides strategies to work with people with dementia and addresses the challenges of dealing with demanding clients.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
