Dementia Advanced Level Education Online Training Cours
Research indicates that psychosocial approaches have been underused in dementia care. This training is developed after two years of conducting surveys amongst iCST education training attendees and literature search to explore the needs of CPD education training to empower the health and social care workforce and family carers.
