Twice a year Oakley Friends run a ten week course for Carers in conjunction with Dorset HealthCare NHS Foundation Trust.

The topics covered include Carer and Patient Wellbeing, Information about Dementia, Finance and Benefits, Legal Aspects, Care, Help and Advice Organisations, NHS Services and Social Services.

These courses are free and aimed at people who are informal carers of people with dementia. You don't have to become a member of Oakley Friends in order to attend.

The next Carers Course starts on April 14th at the Canford Magna Centre, Oakley Lane, Canford Magna.  The Programme will be published as soon as it is finalised.

Oakley Friends would like to thank the Digby Trust for funding these courses.
