Feedback from recent attendee:
“I attended the Ethical Workforce Solutions training in Experiencing Dementia Course in June 2025 and highly recommend the course to anyone who is supporting someone with dementia, whether as a care professional or family member.
It was interactive and full of insightful information. You will not be disappointed; Ash [Nelson] and his team are full of knowledge and ideas which will get you thinking and empathising with those you are supporting with dementia.
The course was very well paced, informative and fun. It will change your perspective and give you deeper understanding."
