The Dementia Friends programme was launched to to help transform attitudes towards, and the understanding of, dementia. Millions of people across the UK have been affected by dementia. As a pharmacist you are entrusted to not only deliver practical and medicinal services, but to act as a source of moral support for those experiencing health-related decline.

By completing the Dementia Friend training programme, you are empowering yourself to better understand a patient, or their family, when they approach you and they’re suffering as a result of the illness. We have put together an entire help centre article about Dementia Friends here.

This CPD accreditation is essential for pharmacists looking to register with Locate a Locum. Not only does this protect the hiring pharmacy, but it protects the patients whom you will be interacting with. We want to ensure that you have the best possible chance of being confirmed for the shift that you’ve applied for.
