Improving Dementia Education and Awareness (IDEA)

IDEA is an online learning centre to improve the care and quality of life of people with dementia. It is a one-stop website where you will find information and resources including online courses and a range of audio-visual materials about dementia, its causes, treatment and the care of people affected. There are also forums where carers and professionals can share good practice in the area of dementia care. The University of Nottingham Patient and Public Involvement group for people with dementia and their carers provided feedback on IDEA during the piloting phase. This is also a useful resource for researchers who are actively involved with people with dementia and their carers.
