What is Alzheimer’s Disease training?

Alzheimer’s Disease training provides learners with the knowledge needed to recognise the signs, progression and impact of Alzheimer’s disease while developing practical skills for supporting individuals throughout the different stages of the condition.

Why Is Alzheimer’s Disease training important?

Alzheimer’s disease affects memory, thinking, communication and daily functioning, making knowledgeable and compassionate care essential. Understanding how the condition progresses enables staff to recognise changing needs, reduce distress and respond appropriately to behavioural changes.

Effective Alzheimer’s Disease training promotes person-centred care, improves communication with individuals and families, supports safer care planning and helps maintain dignity, independence and quality of life wherever possible.

For employers, providing appropriate dementia awareness training helps develop a competent workforce, supports recognised best practice and contributes towards delivering high-quality, safe care aligned with CQC expectations and person-centred care standards.

Is Alzheimer’s Disease training a legal requirement in the UK?

There is no UK law stating that Alzheimer’s Disease training is legally mandatory for every employee. However, employers have legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to provide suitable information, instruction and training where employees’ roles require it.

Health and social care providers are also expected to ensure staff are competent to deliver safe, effective and person-centred care under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, including Regulation 18 relating to staff competency.

Where staff support people living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, Alzheimer’s awareness training is widely regarded as good practice and helps organisations meet professional, regulatory and quality expectations.

Alzheimer’s Disease training FAQ?

Alzheimer’s Disease training teaches learners about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, progression and care of people living with Alzheimer’s disease. It also covers communication, behavioural changes, person-centred care and practical support strategies used in healthcare and social care settings.

The course is suitable for nurses, care assistants, support workers, domiciliary carers, care home staff, social workers, healthcare professionals, volunteers, managers and family carers who support people living with Alzheimer’s disease.

No. The training is not specifically required by legislation. However, employers must ensure staff receive appropriate training to carry out their duties safely and competently where Alzheimer’s care forms part of their role.

The course takes approximately one hour to complete, allowing learners to study at their own pace from any internet-connected device.

The course covers symptoms, diagnosis, brain changes, disease stages, risk factors, treatment, behavioural changes, communication, caregiving approaches, nutrition, late-stage care and supporting people throughout the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Learners complete an online multiple-choice assessment after studying the course materials. A CPD-accredited digital certificate is issued immediately upon successful completion.

After successfully completing the assessment, learners receive an instant CPD Accredited digital certificate that can be downloaded, printed and used as evidence of continuing professional development.

Many organisations recommend refresher training every one to three years or sooner if guidance changes, workplace responsibilities develop or staff begin supporting individuals with more complex dementia care needs.
