Equipped to care: The value of dementia training

With the prevalence of dementia in the UK set to increase to over 1 million people by 2025, dementia is one of the greatest challenges facing the UK today. In this Alzheimer’s Society session, we will explore why dementia training for the adult social care workforce is now more important than ever. Learn about the benefits that training can have for both your staff and the people living with dementia who they support.
