Supporting people with Dementia at Work: free webinar for small businesses

One in two people in the UK will be affected by dementia in their lifetime. This means it is highly likely you will come into contact with people living with dementia in your workplace, including:

• employees living with dementia
• employees who are caring for someone with the condition
• your customers

Our free webinar will help you learn more about dementia and how you can support employees and customers to have the best possible experience of your business.

It will help you improve customer service, provide better support for your team, futureproof your organisation as the number of people developing dementia increases, and ensure compliance with disability legislation.

The webinar is hosted by specialist Admiral Nurses from our Dementia at Work Team, who understand the challenges facing employers, employees and customers.

The 45-minute webinar covers:

• signs of dementia
• your responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010
