Understand the process and experience of dementia 

This course delivers the knowledge on the neurology of dementia including the causes, difficulties and needs of the person with dementia. This will help to support the learner's understanding of how people may experience dementia.

With the development of improved health care and healthier lifestyles, people are living longer. With an increase in an ageing population come age-related conditions such as dementia. 

Age is not the only cause of dementia, as covered in this course.

In this course, you will learn about: 

• the neurology of dementia 
• the impact of recognition and diagnosis of dementia 
• how dementia care must be underpinned by a person-centred
  approach.
