Structured to benefit those who provide care for people living with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, this course aims to promote and share models of good practice.
The course does this by addressing the challenges experienced by people with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in relation to mobility, swallowing, communication and other activities of daily living, helping create empathy between the carer and the cared for.
Participants will identify signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, the three stages of Alzheimer’s, gain an understanding of what causes these diseases and examine the most effective ways of caring for people living with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
