comment from a past participant:
The course is spread over six weekly workshops of three hours each, and looks at all aspects of person-centred dementia care. In addition to the 18 hours of workshops, participants will complete a student handbook and a 1 hour multiple choice test to assess their learning and change in attitude and approach to providing support and care to those living with the experience of dementia. The workshops will give participants the opportunity to explore key skills required to work with people living with the experience of dementia and their family/personal carers. Session 1

quality If you wish to run Introduction to Quality Dementia Care in your establishment please contact the Branch to discuss your training needs. All Hounslow Branch training is facilitated by: Jennie Whitford BA (Hons) who is the Dementia Care Service Manager working for the Alzheimer's Society Hounslow Branch. Jennie is an approved dementia care trainer. Her training style focuses on the individual's experience of dementia, which she can relate to from her everyday work. Jennie finds by using live case studies, she is able to simplify what can appear to be complex theoretical approaches into practical based skills, inspiring staff in a variety of health and social care settings to understand and put into practice interventions that are more effective, practical and most of all person-centered. Jennie has a passion and drive to allow the real voice and experience
of people with dementia to be heard. More comments from past participants: "I thought it was an excellent course, very worthwhile. I am glad I attended the course." "It gave me a sense of knowledge that I did not realise I had before and helped me feel more confident in my approach." "I found the communication strategies helpful and am now able to look at situations differently." "I have more understanding of the impact on people's relatives, having learned this I hope that I will be able to help them and the clients cope with their experience." "I have enjoyed all parts of the course, Jennie teaches in a way that you won't forget what she has taught you." "I have enjoyed every moment because I have learnt a lot" "I have learnt a lot about people living with the experience of dementia. How they behave, act and feel. I have also learnt the importance of communication and interaction, biography and identity etc." "I felt it was a good time spent because if Jennie does not come in and teach us these things, we would be none the wiser."
