Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging, you don’t have to do it alone. Our Admiral Nurse Masterclasses are designed to give carers practical advice, supportive group discussions, and helpful resources to take away.

Each session focuses on key topics such as:

  • Communication
  • Emotional impact
  • Advanced care planning
  • Understanding and managing challenging behaviours

Sessions run throughout the year and can be booked individually, so you can choose the areas most relevant to you.
