Recent reports suggest that around 800,000 people in the UK have some form of dementia, but most have not been diagnosed. The Alzheimer's Society has expressed concern at the findings and the “unnecessary suffering” that comes as a result. One suggested explanation is the perceived "stigma" associated with the condition which results in people not visiting their GP.

NCFE offers a range of qualifications in dementia care, to help provide the best possible support for those suffering from dementia. The NCFE Level 2 Certificate in the Principles for Dementia Care has proven to be one of NCFE’s most popular qualifications since its launch. It covers areas such as person-centred care, the influence of positive communication methods, issues around the use of medication and the importance of providing appropriate activities.
