Feedback from recent attendee:
“I attended the course in June 2025 and highly recommend it 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 won't be disappointed; Ash [Nelson] and his team are full of knowledge and ideas which will get you thinking and empathising with those you're supporting with dementia.
"The course was very well paced, informative and fun. It will change your perspective and give you deeper understanding.”
