Very nice classes, and structured teaching methods. overall a very noble step towards creating awareness on dementia. Special thanks to the whole team as there was a lot of effort put in for everything including classes, the case scenarios, feedbacks on the case presentations etc. Thank you all also for always being there as support over phone whenever I had a doubt with a case here.
Dr. Divyamol. K S
Amrita health centre, Shadipur, PortBlairThe course is very well designed by Dr Preethi Ma'am and is elaborately discussed in the easiest possible way by Dr Ruthshee and Dr Ramya. It was more interactive and involved the participants in the learning through quizzes, case presentation and group discussion. The case simulations by Dr Preethi Ma'am and her team were outstanding and gave us a working experience on how to interview and interact with patients who have signs and symptoms of Dementia and related illnesses.
Overall it is more informative, educative and stimulating in learning about Dementia and how to examine such patients through simple screening procedures and available tools at the level of General practitioners. I would recommend to my friends who are passionate about making a difference in their general practice by implementing these methods. Also, the support the team provides after the course is phenomenal and is of great significance.
My recommendation is to make it more interactive and involve the practitioner in the course to give a more elaborate working experience with Dementia patients.

SUNIL KUMAR SHETTY
PVTI would like to express my appreciation for the Dementia Awareness and Caregiving class. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the various types of dementia, including Alzheimer's dementia, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia, fronto temporal dementia and explored their distinct symptoms, progression, and underlying causes. The instruction was thorough and well-structured, making complex medical and psychological concepts accessible to participants with varying levels of prior knowledge.
The class content effectively covered key topics such as the importance of early diagnosis, the challenges of caregiving, and strategies for improving communication with individuals living with dementia. I found the emphasis on person-centered care particularly valuable, as it highlighted the significance of maintaining the dignity and autonomy of those affected. Additionally, the class offered practical guidance on creating safe living environments and managing behavioral symptoms by non pharmacological techniques, which will be invaluable in real-world caregiving settings.
The use of case studies, role play and examples throughout the course was especially beneficial in illustrating common caregiving scenarios, and the opportunity for participants to engage in discussions and ask questions further enhanced the learning experience. The instructors demonstrated a high level of expertise and empathy, creating a supportive environment conducive to learning and reflection.
Overall, the class was an excellent educational experience that has deepened my understanding of dementia and caregiving. It has provided me with the knowledge and skills necessary to better support individuals with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of dementia and improve their caregiving abilities.

Giving feedback after every activity can be minimised. If any change that allows the participant to finish the course in single attempt will be helpful.

NIMHANSThe course provided a comprehensive overview of dementia, from its symptoms to care strategies. I particularly appreciate the role play section. The mix of video presentations and group discussions kept us engaged.Maam did a great job of ensuring everyone had a chance to ask questions. The practical tips on handling challenging behaviours were particularly useful. The case presentation part gave a fair idea how to deal with cases of dementia.Got an idea many scales available to assess dementia. Non pharmacological part was also delivered very nicely.
Overall, the course was extremely beneficial, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone working with or caring for people with dementia. It provided valuable insights and practical strategies that I will continue to use. The course has given encouraged me to see more elderly patients with clear deep insight and far vision when to give medicine and when not to.

NIMHANSIt is a very comprehensive course about dementia. It bridged the knowledge gap of dementia for me. The availability of the course materials in PPT was beneficial. The quizzes were also interesting, mainly the multiple answers for a question format. The questions were relevant and can be applied to our daily clinical practice. Also, self-paced learning made accessing the course at our own time convenient, which is genuinely appreciable. All in all, it was a good learning experience.
