Today I began a worldwide online course in understanding dementia thanks to a fellow student on my course sharing the link! It is provided by the University of Tasmania in Australia and is a great way to gain a good insight of dementia and it's; causes, symptoms, progression, effects on individual's, carers and family, how to provide support to individuals to promote a good quality of life and well-being.
I feel this course will be a great relevant source of information for me as I will most likely come across a lot of clients with dementia during my training and career and I don't currently have much work experience of dementia. It is relevant currently of course as I am out on placement with a Neurosciences team!
I will post about my placement at the end of the week :)
Here is the link to the course:
