Supporting people with dementia requires a clear understanding of evidence‑based practice. This dementia clinical guidelines training course is designed for health and social care staff who work with individuals living with dementia or delirium. It provides the underpinning knowledge needed to recognise symptoms, apply clinical guidelines, and deliver safe, person‑centred care.

Learners will explore the causes, diagnosis, and management of both delirium and dementia. The course also covers the principles of care, risk factors, prevention strategies, and early identification methods. In addition, participants will learn how to observe, assess, and treat individuals in line with clinical standards and legal requirements.

By the end of this dementia clinical guidelines training, participants will have the confidence to apply best practice, follow clinical frameworks, and provide effective support that improves quality of life.
