Dementia Pathfinders

Encouraging togetherness and learning in dementia care.

Dementia Pathfinders CIC is a not-for-profit social enterprise providing learning opportunities, resources and services, to enable people with dementia and their families to live with hope, creativity and meaning.

"We believe that people living with dementia and family carers are pivotal to improving knowledge, understanding and skills in the health and care workforce, and to creating inclusive and compassionate communities." 

Training & Workshops

The Dementia Pathfinders Open Course Programme aims to equip those supporting people with dementia to provide high quality person centred dementia care and support. Our programme is designed to be of interest to a wide audience, we work in partnership with value aligned dementia specialist trainers and training providers to offer a varied programme of training based on innovative approaches and best practice evidence.

We offer a full range of learning opportunities, from dementia awareness courses to OCNLR dementia qualifications, involving people with dementia and family carers in courses to allow participants to learn from the real specialists.
Our team of Associates bring with them a range of skills and expertise to ensure a varied and interesting array of innovative topics including Circle Dance in Dementia and Cognitive Stimulation Therapy.

Dementia Roadmap

The Dementia Roadmap is a web based platform that provides high quality information about the dementia journey alongside local information about services, support groups and care pathways to assist primary care staff to more effectively support people with dementia, their families and carers.

The platform supports the creation of local Dementia Roadmaps pre-populated with a wide range of nationally relevant resources and groups, organised across the main topics reflecting the dementia journey. Following installation and introductory training local editors populate their Roadmap with resources and groups that are relevant to their locality.

The Dementia Roadmap has been developed in a partnership between the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Department of Health. It is proudly hosted by Dementia Pathfinders.
