The course takes approximately 2 hours. You can skip some of the sections if you feel confident with the information. There is a short video clip that is around communicating with relatives and then a quiz at the end.
The course is predominately aimed at Primary Health Care professionals including GPs, Practice Nurses and those staff working in Residential Aged Care. It concentrates on the holistic assessment of symptoms and issues, it does not cover management.
