Vamos Theatre is delighted to have launched a new, low cost, online training course for carers, which we would love you to know about.
Originally commissioned by, and made in collaboration with, PrimeLife care homes, The Art of Care is a ten episode course promoting empathetic dementia care and the art of connection beyond words.
Each bite sized film gives carers real life tools and ideas to use in daily life, showing how even very small shifts in approach can create profound changes in the care we give. This course is more than training — it’s about connection, respect, and insight, showing practically how compassionate, person-centred, playful care positively impacts people living with dementia and those that care for them.
Costing only £6 ($10) per person for a year’s access, the course uses scenes performed by actors to show best-practice care in action, exploring non-verbal skills such as eye contact, mirroring, deep listening and touch, and specific situations such as mealtimes.
This course offers powerful ways to change what care feels like. It’s a challenge to reimagine, a shift we can all be part of, for a culture change in care, powered by empathy, joy, and genuine human connection.

We hope that you’ll try the course and help us spread the word with your care network too.
Best wishes,
The Vamos Team
