Age Scotland's Dementia Training team has launched new a new self-study platform for carers of people living with dementia. We know that attending sessions at set times can prove difficult for people due to their unpredictable caring commitments.

This new self-study platform will allow carers to learn about their rights when it is convenient to them and without time constraints.

Registrations for the first self-study modules open and access to course contents will be available from Wednesday 16 June. 

To register, please follow the links below or email [email protected]
