Dementia Awareness

As part of our hosted Dementia Training Centre platform, commissioned by Kings Health Partners, our client was keen to continue adding to their growing portfolio of free elearning courses.

Although existing online training within the site focused on new leading research and academic learning, this new project was aimed to provide a more basic introduction to dementia for clinical support workers at SLaM.

Basing the structure on academic and research-led elearning courses previously written for the Dementia Training Centre, we worked alongside the Head of Nursing to produce introductory material, in a format suitable for their Clinical Support Worker target audience.

We were keen to keep modules short and to the point, allowing learners to study in bite-sized pieces that worked well alongside their busy job schedules.

Our aim was the make the material as visually and emotionally engaging as possible, integrating real-life case studies, opportunities to reflect, quick quizzes, top tips for managing challenging behavior and helpful coping strategies from fellow staff.

We designed with a colourful, inviting palette, used bold graphics, natural photography and symbolic icons to mark key topics.

Material was structured with multiple branches so that learners could create their own learning path and investigate further into extra learning content as desired.
