Confident Conversations about Technology – learning event sign up
This open badge is automatically awarded to delegates who sign up to the Confident Conversations about Technology national learning programme.
With more than 90,000 people living with dementia across Scotland, it is essential that professionals have a range of useful information and approaches to help support people and their families and carers.
Through the Scottish Government’s Technology Enabled Care fund, Alzheimer Scotland has developed a national learning programme that provides realistic support and practical resources on how to support someone with dementia consider technological solutions.
Support, assistance and guidance will be offered from the Technology Team throughout the duration of the programme.
