The aim of this one and a half hour session is to understand that dementia is much more than just memory loss and not a normal part of ageing. The session will give you a chance to gain an insight into what it may feel like to live with dementia, consider the principles of person centred approaches and discuss the impact of language used (positive and negative) when referring to dementia care.

Based on the national 'Dementia Friends’ initiative

The session will run from 2.30 pm to 4.00 pm with registration from 2.00 pm.
