Delivered by Dr David Sheard, the CEO and founder of Dementia Care Matters, the one-day training workshop will teach care caterers and providers how to look beyond the serving of food and turn mealtimes into beneficial, meaningful experiences.
Neel Radia, national chair of the NACC, said: “Training is vital when it comes to meeting the specific challenges of catering for older people who may be vulnerable and the NACC is committed to supporting the sector with relevant, progressive information and guidance.
“The new workshops will challenge the status quo and offer new perspectives and approaches to ensure those people living with a dementia thrive through positive food and mealtime experiences.”
The first training workshop takes place on December 1st at Aimia Food Limited in Haydock, Merseyside, and the second is on February 3rd 2017 at Brakes in Covent Garden, London.
