Yet some of us living with the illness were insulted by the trainers from the Alzhiemers Sociéty, mainly because they themselves were not trained properly in the first place.
It's all well, and good having training days but if the staff involved don't understand that dementia is a vast field and not all, dementias are the same, with the same symptoms and problems
Like others when I tried to point this out, I was told to sit down and shut up because I didn't know what I was talking about, something which not only annoyed me but many others in the room who knew me.
At the end of the course someone tried to explain this to the so called trainers, but they like me were ignored.
This proves the point that if the staff ignore those living with the illness, they themselves will be made look silly
In this case it made the Alzheimers Society look extremely silly, be cause there or reported to be over 100 variations of dementia, all with different symptoms and problems. No one size fits all
