my name is Fabian Akshay I'm the general
00:08
manager at ballast a nursing home in
00:10
Cardiff as well as the one in Bari and I
00:13
think the training exercise was actually
00:15
a gem in itself for us to move forward
00:18
look into what we can do better
00:20
it opens up a whole new world when you
00:22
go to this training because it is
00:23
something that they wouldn't really know
00:25
what to do if they didn't have it having
00:28
an understanding of the dimensions and
00:30
the causes makes a huge difference to me
00:34
and so those around me
00:38

00:41
in 2016 Care Council for Wales launched
00:46
good work and dementia learning
00:48
development framework for Wales and as a
00:50
result of that social care Wales and
00:53
asked me to create some training which
00:57
would translate the reports and the
01:01
framework in something usable for staff
01:03
and organisations to be able to deliver
01:06
training at that informed level one in a
01:09
million was developed and works and
01:12
consulted with people living with
01:14
dementia family carers and colleagues
01:17
and Health and Social Care dementia
01:19
itself is a complex subject but at the
01:21
same time we need to make it simple for
01:23
people who actually don't understand
01:25
about dementia make sure that they
01:27
understand what it is directly support
01:29
or to live with someone who's got
01:32
dementia Bernina million was actually a
01:34
very good pilot project and I think a
01:36
lot of people will benefit from it long
01:38
run I found the training important
01:42
because it was very informative and even
01:46
though we have a lot of experience with
01:47
dementia I always feel that it's
01:50
important to refresh our knowledge and
01:52
there is always something new to learn
01:55
the course was developed and produced in
01:58
a way that anyone with confidence and
02:01
knowledge and understanding of dementia
02:03
can deliver the session to either staff
02:06
groups family members or anyone really
02:09
that needs that informal training the
02:12
way the course is structured and
02:13
delivered I find it really really user
02:16
friendly the way the questions are put
02:18
across all the way the information is
02:20
delivered a leaves room for questions
02:21
and it's encouraging you know the our
02:25
trainer Fabian when he delivers it he
02:27
asks the staff to participate and then
02:30
we question each other and we it sort of
02:33
opens up a mini debate within the
02:34
training so you get to talk about it and
02:36
I think it also gives us the ideas and
02:40
the information for us to research on
02:42
our own my name's chris chris Roberts
02:45
and I live in North Wales I was
02:48
diagnosed a few years ago with mixed
02:52
dementia
02:53
which is vascular and Alzheimer's I
02:57
think it's very important to have for
03:00
everyone that's around me to understand
03:03
dementia it makes it much easier for
03:07
myself
03:07
III I don't need to explain I die and it
03:12
stops me getting stressed or anxious and
03:14
I don't have to worry about doing
03:17
anything right or wrong if people
03:20
understand and it's it's that
03:22
understanding that that takes away the
03:25
stigma that exists I think around the
03:28
dementia it's at some unknown that
03:31
people fear so so by having people that
03:34
understand dementia and makes it just so
03:38
much easier for everyone affected by
03:39
dementia good training courses
03:44
