Autumn training starting soon @Understandingdm
Most courses tell you what dementia does to the brain, body and behaviour. Ours focus on the person, and what we can do to lessen the impact of dementia on their well-being. For more details and booking see tinyurl.com/3zpuh8tp

Thanks Wendy. Yes, Nicola - @Understandingdm training for health and care professionals. Instead of focusing just on changes to their brain, body and behaviour, we focus on on the person inside and how to communicate, adapt treatments etc. DM me or email via the website.

Tonight we would have been hosting our annual Barn Dance for @Understandingdm . It'll be a while before we can do it (Stripping the Willow doesn't quite work on Zoom somehow) so here's something I thought you might enjoy in the meantime @Annagoge
