课程概况
As dementia progresses, those with the condition are less able to share their views and wishes. Families and healthcare professionals may have to make difficult decisions on their behalf. Studies show that it’s best to talk about the future early on, with the support of a healthcare professional. This aids decision making; helping to respect the person with dementia’s wishes.
On this course you will learn how to be better prepared and supported to ensure quality of life and comfort for both yourself and the person living with dementia.
