Bespoke education and training

Bespoke dementia & brain health education and training

At Alzheimer Scotland and Brain Health Scotland, we specialise in creating high-quality, evidence-informed education that empowers teams, services, and organisations to improve outcomes for people living with dementia and those at risk of cognitive decline. Our bespoke training offer is designed in partnership with you – shaped around your priorities, your workforce, and the real-world challenges you want to address.

 

Designed with you, for you

Every organisation is different. That’s why our education and training is co-created from the ground up. We begin by exploring your aims, learning needs, and context, then design a tailored package that aligns with your goals. This partnership approach ensures your training is relevant, meaningful, and immediately applicable.

Your bespoke programme can include:

• Webinars – short, focused sessions ideal for large groups or distributed teams
• Online interactive learning sessions – live, facilitated workshops with opportunities for dialogue and reflection
• In-person study days – immersive, practice-focused learning tailored to your team or service
• Hands-on workshops – experiential sessions exploring specific topics, tools, or approaches
• Blended learning packages – combining digital, virtual, and face-to-face elements

 

What we can cover

We offer training across a wide range of dementia and brain-health topics, including:

• understanding dementia and brain health
• risk reduction and the evidence behind modifiable factors
• communication, relationships, and person-centred approaches
• post-diagnostic support and the Five-Pillar Model
• supporting carers and families
• behaviour change, lifestyle approaches, and brain-healthy living
• young onset dementia
• therapeutic and community-based support
• digital and technology-enabled care
• equality, inclusion, and tailored approaches for specific populations

And much more – every programme is customised to your priorities.

 

Flexible Delivery, Meaningful Impact

Training can be delivered:

• online, making it easy for dispersed teams to participate
• in-person, for deeper engagement and practical skill-building
• as a blended package, supporting sustained learning over time

Sessions can be one-off, part of a themed series, or developed into a longer-term learning pathway for your organisation.
