This accessible, interactive resource book encourages front-line staff working with dementia sufferers in nursing and residential settings to examine their working practice and modify it to where appropriate to meet best practice guidelines.

Packed with photocopiable training exercises, discussion points and questions to prompt care workers to reflect on their style of work, this practical training manual also provides a framework for care work in line with statutory requirements and national training standards. It can be used as a self-training guide by carers, who can work through it at their own pace or under the supervision of a colleague, or by trainers running structured courses on good practice in dementia care. It is also suitable for use as a quick reference in daily practice.

This comprehensive resource will provide useful guidance for all staff working face-to-face with people with dementia, whether in nursing, day-care or residential settings.

Industry Reviews

Well written and easy to use, it is comprehensive in scope, and contains a wealth of exercises that can be used on their own or as parts of a planned in-house training course. Walsh constantly encourages us to understand behaviour and to see things from the resident's angle so that we can get to the causes and respond in helpful and therapeutic ways.
