As a nurse working in the NHS, I found the Professional Certificate in Elder Care at Stanmore School of Business incredibly useful. The course provided me with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by elderly patients and how to address them effectively. Specifically, I appreciated the section on communication strategies for patients with dementia, which I have already put into practice at work. Although some of the course material was a bit basic for my level of experience, I still found it helpful and would recommend it to anyone interested in improving their skills in elder care.
