Gippsland PHN in collaboration with Dementia Australia would like to invite GPs /GP Registrars, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Staff in various care settings providing support to people living with dementia to this workshop.
This workshop provides an overview of dementia, including signs, symptoms, causes and an understanding of how dementia affects the brain and behaviour.
You will be encouraged to reflect on your practice and ways this knowledge translates into person- centred support for people living with dementia.
You will gain knowledge in:
- The nature of dementia, including prevalence, risks, types of dementia, how the brain works and signs of dementia.
- A person-centred approach to dementia support including communication, choice and decision-making.
- Resources and services available to you.
