iCST Dementia Training Testimonials

““Having the opportunity to look critically at how we can empower people to live well with dementia and support carer relationships. Also there was a chance to share best practice and learn from both the Dr Leung and other participants’ experiences. I really enjoyed it. I really benefit from theory - it’s how I remember what the purpose of my role is!

“ iCST has allowed me the opportunity to engage people with memory problems and their carers in interesting and stimulating meaningful discussion and activity at home. This would not have been possible without the iCST training programme, which I would thoroughly recommend to other professionals or people who are supporting those with memory problems.
