AS THE nation marks Dementia Awareness Week (May 15-21), the team at Specsavers in Oban is becoming qualified to better understand the needs of customers suffering from dementia.
Specsavers employees nationwide are completing Dementia Friends training, an initiative run by the Alzheimer’s Society.
In doing so they become recognised as a Dementia Friends, with a badge to wear on their uniforms to indicate their increased level of dementia awareness to customers.
