DSDC has created a range of training courses and events focusing on general aspects of dementia care and design through to more specialised areas. This includes our internationally recognised, award-winning Best Practice in Dementia Care Learning Programme. We deliver our courses in person and offer a select range online. Every course is underpinned by research and delivered by our experienced team who have designed each training course to be attainable and accessible. DSDC is also able to work with organisations to deliver bespoke training sessions that meet their specific requirements.

For anyone looking at more information on how the environment can impact a person living with dementia then Tier 1 and 2 of DSDC’s Environments for Ageing and Dementia Design Assessment Tool (EADDAT) is an ideal place to start. This toolkit explains more about how the places and environments we work, live and socialise in can impact a person living with dementia. There are checklists that you can work through to make small changes that can have a positive impact on a person’s experience within a space.

DSDC provides a mixture of resources, from an introductory level through to more in-depth technical publications. This includes our delirium toolkit and a range of translated dementia information resources available.

DSDC has created an information hub; a free online resource that provides all the basic information you need to understand dementia and how you can support someone with a diagnosis. The hub is filled with practical suggestions over a range of key areas, including: communication, changes in behaviour, the environment; eating and drinking; hospital visits and admissions; and travel.

Our multi-disciplinary team work with organisations around the world to help them achieve service excellence. Each organisation has different requirements, and we can tailor our services to support your organisation and staff.
