Dementia Australia Training - Day 2
Enabling EDIE (Acute)
EDIE (Educational Dementia Immersive Experience) is an immersive workshop that enables participants to see the world through the eyes of a person living with dementia. Using our virtual reality technology, this workshop enhances your knowledge of dementia while exploring strategies to support a person with dementia in the Acute Care setting.
This workshop provides an overview of dementia, including signs and symptoms, causes, and an understanding of how dementia affects the brain and behaviour. You will be encouraged to reflect on your practice and ways this knowledge translates into person-centred support for people living with dementia.
Participants will gain knowledge in:
• Understanding the perspective of a person living with dementia.
• Identifying causes of excess disability and stress in the workplace and how to reduce the impact.
• How to better support people living with dementia through communication and environment.
Delirium and Dementia
A program to help you recognise symptoms of delirium, identify possible causes, promote recovery, and develop prevention strategies for people living with dementia.
Dementia increases the risk of delirium approximately five-fold. If untreated, delirium can increase the risk of:
• increased length of stay in hospital
• further complications
• cognitive and functional decline
• mortality.
Staff will gain knowledge in
• delirium and its relationship with dementia.
• Learn how to Identify delirium - spot the signs, symptoms, risks and causes of delirium.
• Learn how to Manage delirium - helpful strategies to prevent and manage delirium in people living with dementia.
Morning Tea and Lunch included
