About this course
Dementia affects millions of people worldwide and presents unique challenges for health and social care professionals, family carers, and support workers. Providing high-quality dementia care requires more than understanding memory loss—it demands empathy, communication skills, person-centred practice, and knowledge of current UK legislation.
This CPD-certified Dementia Care Awareness course has been updated for 2026 and reflects current best practice across health and social care settings. Learners will explore different types of dementia, recognise symptoms, understand behavioural changes, promote independence, support families, protect vulnerable adults, and deliver compassionate care that respects dignity, rights, and individual preferences.
Suitable for anyone working or planning to work in adult social care, domiciliary care, residential care, nursing homes, hospitals, supported living, or community healthcare.
