About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Welcome to the Caring with Confidence: Practical Skills for Carers - Part 2 event at the Alzheimer Scotland Fife Brain Health and Dementia Resource Centre.

The aim of this session is to provide carers of people with dementia with practical knowledge and skills to support essential aspects of physical health, including continence, foot care, mobility, hearing, vision and oral health. The session will focus on recognising common issues, implementing preventative care, and ensuring comfort and well-being for both the carer and the person with dementia.

The delivery of this session will be like a market place where carers can visit information stands by a variety of healthcare professionals.
