Commitment 1 - Relating to:
Further development of our Silver dementia training, to inc. an assessment of practice, ensuring carers are applying learnings when working with dementia customers. To inc. an element of feedback from the customer living with dementia/family. June 2018 we launched online ‘Silver’ dementia training, for carers to become more knowledgeable about dementia, the experiences of people living with dementia and how they can deliver person-centred, individualised care & support to empower our dementia customers to, for e.g. to retain their independence, continue to plan, make choices, take risks and to remain involved and included. In 6 months 810 carers completed training.
How will your organisation achieve Commitment 1?
Commitment 1 will be achieved by identifying and designing an appropriate assessment activity which provides evidence of person-centred care provided to a customer or customers living with dementia.
Dementia Statement this action relates to:
We have the right to an early and accurate diagnosis, and to receive evidence based, appropriate, compassionate and properly funded care and treatment, from trained people who understand us and how dementia affects us. This must meet our needs, wherever we live.

We have the right to an early and accurate diagnosis, and to receive evidence based, appropriate, compassionate and properly funded care and treatment, from trained people who understand us and how dementia affects us. This must meet our needs, wherever we live.
We have the right to be respected, and recognised as partners in care, provided with education, support, services, and training which enables us to plan and make decisions about the future.
We have the right to know about and decide if we want to be involved in research that looks at cause, cure and care for dementia and be supported to take part.
