1. Introduction

In this topic we will start to outline what dementia is and how it affects people. This course is presented by The Alzheimer Society of Ireland. We have been working for over 30 years to support people with dementia.

The learning outcomes of this topic of the course are to:

Gain a better understanding of dementia by

  • defining dementia
  • outlining the different types of dementia
  • recognising the different stages and symptoms of dementia

Watching the videos and reading through the course materials in this section should take approximately 60 minutes to complete.

Participation in the forums will require additional time.
