DIET, Dining Immersive Experiential Training

The Experience

Dining Immersive Experiential Training (DIET) is a life adjusting course that is a must for anyone that works or supports people that have dementia. Launched in February 2024, this experiential course transports you to understanding how to overcome the challenges faced by people that have dementia around mealtimes.

This course is not about cooking or aimed at chefs, it is for anybody involved in supporting people with food intake and mealtimes.

During the course, delegates will be engaged in current practice and understanding, be involved in discussions and learning and will have abilities removed to understand what it is like for people with dementia.  The course content includes:

Sight issues, smells, hearing, touch and texture, speech, environments, distractions, time, presentation, dining area planning, support and new techniques, adapted equipment, colours, time, preparation and planning, mealtime partners and much more.

Delivered to a group of 12 delegates and a 3-hour course, we aim to increase staff awareness, improve food and drink intake, reduce negative responses to mealtimes and reduce costs for the provider.
