On Friday 31st January the Upper and Lower 6 Health T Level students participated in dementia friendly training. This training aims to provide health professionals with a better understanding of dementia and develop strategies to support individuals who have the condition. Currently 850,000 people suffer from dementia in the UK and numbers are set to increase to over one million by 2025. Future health professionals will need this knowledge to be able to provide care and support to both the individual and their family. The training helps to give health professionals the confidence and skills to work with individuals and families to reduce the stress and upset that this condition can cause.
