The content of training varies across different organisers and target population. In general, training covers attitudes towards dementia, knowledge and understanding about dementia, brain health knowledge for dementia prevention, communication skills with individuals with dementia, and ways of coping with the impact of dementia with a positive attitude. For frontline staffs who might encounter persons with dementia in their workplace, such as police, banks, and restaurants, training contents and simulation activities are tailored to the needs of the organisation to equip them with the skills to handle potentially difficult situations specific to their workplace and in relation to dementia (Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing, 2018).
