Working with people living with dementia can be both rewarding and demanding. Time pressures and ever-increasing workloads massively impact on our abilities to connect and communicate with people, especially those living with dementia. The Empowered Conversation team can offer flexible face to face or online courses to suit your workplace, offering participants a chance to pause, reflect on how they communicate and explore different ways to connect.
