Advance Dementia and Palliative Care (2025)

Advance Dementia and Palliative Care (2025)

This three-hour workshop provides health and social care professionals with the opportunity to explore how to use the principles of palliative care to enhance the care and support to individuals with advance dementia and to maximise their comfort at end of life.  Attendees will have the opportunity to consider what the distressed and adaptive behaviours might indicate about the emotional state of mind of the induvial.  We will use case studies to consider strategies for assessing the needs of the individual, personalising care and facilitating shared decision making.  

On completion of the course, you will:

  • Identify symptoms of Advance Stage Dementia.
  • Recognise the signs that a person is approaching the end of life.
  • Understand types of pain and tools to support pain assessment.
  • Reflect on how own communication skills can impact on assessment process and care interventions.
  • Understand what is meant by a dignified death and how to support this in practice.
