“It brought home the importance of written communication within the public sector. It provided me with useful insights, provided techniques that I can implement and a potentially useful document resource.” UK Research & Innovation

“I would highly recommend this session! The trainer was brilliant. All sessions work at pace that was clear, easy to follow and understand. Thank you!” BEIS

“Very useful, interactive and enjoyable. Thank you.” Westminster City Council

My main objective was to have a better understanding of how to formulate consultation responses. My job is in Regulation for an energy company in NI and I have only been in the job for a short time. Part of my role is to write consultations in response to Regulatory or industry proposals. I feel after the course I am better equipped to prepare and write these consultation responses in the correct manner. Firmus Energy

Dementia FREE Online Course

Dementia affects around 820,000 people in the UK

This figure is likely to rise to one million by 2025 and two million by 2051.

It is one of the main causes of disability in later life and with research being desperately underfunded, it costs the UK over £26 billion a year. 

Understanding dementia and the person-centred care that is required is fundamental to high-quality care.

Our free online training covers areas such as person-centered care, the influence of positive communication methods, issues relating to the use of medication for those with dementia, and the importance of providing appropriate activities.
