Dementia Awareness Week takes place across the UK from 20-26 May 2012.<\/p>\n
Dementia Awareness Week is an annual campaign which aims to maximise awareness and understanding of dementia by getting people to ‘remember the person’ behind the dementia.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Dementia Awareness Week gives everyone the opportunity to increase their understanding of dementia and to get people to remember that there’s more to a person than the dementia they are living with.<\/p>\n
If you, like many others during this week, would like to learn more about dementia, consider completing a distance learning<\/span> programme with NCC Home Learning.<\/p>\n The Positive Dementia Care course<\/a><\/span> explains the facts about dementia and the importance of people-centred care and is suitable for health care workers, family carers or those who are simply interested in learning more about Dementia.\u00a0 The Positive Dementia Care course<\/a><\/span> will also help students recognise people with dementia as whole individuals, and understand all the needs that sufferers with varying conditions have.<\/p>\n
