Carer Training

As a carer you need information to understand what causes dementia, also advice and support on problems facing the cared for person and the carer in the future. Carers training courses are designed to do this in a very informative and relaxed environment.

A carers training course can be arranged by contacting St John Ambulance Devon, Carers Support Programme. See Links page

A carers training course is a source of valuable information for you now, and what you will encounter in the future.

On the training courses, as a group, carers are a great source of information, sharing their experiences with each other.

Current topics include:-
  • Basic first aid
  • Behaviour problems
  • Benefits and allowances
  • Better Nutrition
  • Communication strategies
  • Coping with dementia
  • Emergency first aid and patient handling
  • Falls awareness for carers
  • Managing incontinence
  • Preventing falls
  • Safe moving and handling
  • Stress management
  • What causes dementia
  • What support is available for the cared for and carer
