Murrays Funeral Directors is proud to announce an amazing opportunity for people to take the Virtual Dementia Tour.
This innovative training takes just two and half hours but gives you an amazing insight into what it might be like for people living with Dementia and helps improve best practice in any setting. This worldwide, scientifically and medically proven method of giving a person with a healthy brain, chance to enter the world of a person with Dementia, enabling them to understand which simple changes can be made to their practice and environment to really improve lives of people with dementia.
Invented over 25 years ago by Professor PK Beville, the Virtual Dementia Tour has been proven to change practice within 95% of delegates, improve knowledge in 97% of delegates and improve outcomes for 100% of clients. It has been taken by over 200,000 people in the UK and is the benchmark training that other providers strive to achieve. Already commissioned by many NHS Trusts, HSE Trusts, Care homes, Nursing Homes, Police, Prisons, Ambulance, Universities and Colleges, Councils, CCGs, CQC, businesses, families and many more, the Virtual Dementia Tour has an impact that just cannot be matched or replicated.
Looking from the persons point of view and not basing practice on convenience really does build bridges between the family and care givers and increase positive outcomes. Therefore, if you are looking for the highest quality dementia training that really does change lives for all, then the Virtual Dementia Tour is a must for everyone and costs just £35 per person.
The tour ran as part of Derbyshire’s events for Dementia Action Week, on Thursday 18th May, at our Swadlincote office.
