This workshop is for health professionals working in acute, residential or community settings, particularly those responsible for assessing people living with dementia and creating care plans for them.

The Hierarchic Dementia Scale (HDS) is a reliable, validated assessment tool that assesses twenty different cognitive dimensions. It has been used in Australia for many years to classify the remaining abilities of a person with dementia, and has retained its popularity due to it having numerous advantages over other dementia assessments. In particular, it highlights remaining abilities rather than deficits, is time-efficient, can be used across the entire course of the disease, and can be used to create highly individualised care-plans.
