Inclusive Design: Designing for Dementia and Ageing

Inclusive design is crucial for addressing the needs of individuals with Dementia, a degenerative disease that impacts their lifestyles and causes both physical and mental limitations. This CPD will give you the tools to design by understanding the context, atmosphere, and sensorial elements that affect their wellbeing, enhancing their quality of life. Applying design principles to create Dementia-friendly environments can significantly improve safety, orientation, memory, comfort and behaviour, ultimately resulting in livable and suitable spaces for those affected by Dementia.

Infection Prevention & Interior Finishes: Flooring Considerations

In our Infection Control CPD, we look at the threat antimicrobial resistance poses and how this is leading to an increase in healthcare associated infections. We detail high versus low risk areas, allowing you to determine what floor finish should be specified. We also look at antimicrobial test methods, and discuss how the misuse of antibiotics and biocides can lead to Antimicrobial Resistance – a major public health threat.
