Dementia FAQ
Dementia is a persistent or chronic disorder of the brain. The word 'dementia' describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem solving or language. Changes to the brain may often be small to start with, but for anyone with dementia they can become severe enough to affect daily life. An individual with dementia may also experience changes in behaviour or mood.
There are many diseases that may result in dementia. Some of these include Alzheimer's disease, Vascular dementia and Pick's disease. Infections may in rare occasions cause dementia but most develop due to cell damage caused by stroke or an abnormal build up of protein around the brain cells. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia.
There are currently around 850,000 people in the United Kingdom with dementia. It mainly affects people over the age of 65 with the likelihood of developing it increasing significantly with age. Dementia can however also affect younger people as well. More than 42,000 people in the UK under the age of 65 live with dementia.
While dementia may be hereditary, there may be ways to lessen the risk by changing your lifestyle accordingly. Please follow this link to read a list of suggestions we've put together to help change the way you live today - 6 tips for reducing your risk to dementia

Do courses expire?
There is no expiry date on course credits. Once a credit has been bought it can be allocated at any time. However, should the credit have been allocated to the delegate, each learner then has 12 months to complete the course.
In other words, unallocated course credits have no expiry date. If for example you ordered 1000 licences, and allocated 600 courses in year 1, you would have 400 licences left to allocate in year 2.
