Dementia is a global public health priority. In Brunei, Geriatric Medicine provides dementia teaching
sessions to undergraduate health science students at Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). It was found
that more knowledge of dementia management was needed. Thus, a dementia care skills workshop was
provided. Content from a dementia care skills workshop for care workers was given in a hybrid format.
UBD nursing students attended in person, while participants from Maldives joined online via zoom.
Feedback on the workshop was obtained via an online form at the end of the session. There were 27
undergraduate medical students from UBD and 43 participants from Maldives, with representation from
hospitals and health centres, government ministries and non-government organisations.
