Dementia Action Week is a national event, which takes place between 17th – 23rd May. The UK Public discuss and raise awareness about taking action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia.
One in three people who are born in the UK, will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime, which is why we must do everything we can to make sure that those affected are receiving the best care possible.
There will be one million people living with dementia in the UK by 2025. By raising awareness, we hope more people are diagnosed with dementia earlier on in their lives, allowing them to get the care they need.
Here at BVS Training, we offer two in-depth video-based training courses around this important subject, which include a DVD, Lesson Plans, Handouts, Assessment Quizzes, and Certification. All our courses are endorsed by Skills for Care. Below are the dementia training courses that we offer:
Dementia Care 1: Understanding Dementia – This video focuses on the physical condition of dementia, and how it can affect a person. It covers all the stereotypes and how it impacts the quality of care given.
Dementia Care 2: Person Centred Dementia Care – This video introduces the person centred qualities that a skilled care worker should be able to provide in their day-to-day work. It also explains, and showcases, how person centred qualities can improve a carer’s ability to provide positive and supportive dementia care.
Dementia Care Bundle – You can also buy our two Dementia Care titles packaged together, at a discounted price.
We also offer interactive video-based training courses on our eLearning platform www.caretutor.org, including dementia training courses, where you can also gain the knowledge and supportive skills necessary for your day-to-day work, along with many other courses to choose from. The website offers a traffic light colour-coding system, which allows tracking progress for each course and will let you know the completion date of each course. You will be provided with a simple progress report that can be exported, which will allow you to know the various stages of each enrolment. Certification is provided upon completion of each course.
