@bethyb1886 @suzysopenheart @NicolaP321 @WendyPMitchell @chris40781 @george_rook @TommyTommytee18 @Innov_Dementia @3NDWG Fairy tales!
No one’s life is a fairy tail even without dementia
Creating a film around dementia is difficult

Really great to see you both 💜
Fabulous to see you @george_rook & @awad_gina for the @rcpsychCCQI MSNAP Advisory Group Meeting

@neilmcrowther @alzscot I remember someone asking me once ‘How is your burden?’
They meant my Mum who lived with dementia.
😔
She was so much more than that.
She was my Mum and we always lived with hope. @WendyPMitchell @GailGre59728262 @bethyb1886 @NicolaP321

This #WorldAlzheimersDay, it is with great pleasure that we award @TaylorLeenetjie the 2023 Richard Taylor Memorial Advocates Award.
Read more about how Eileen has contributed to DAI and the wider dementia community on our blog: https://dementiaallianceinternational.org/blog/2023-richard-taylor-award-goes-to-eileen-taylor
Important words 👇...we must therefore be mindful in our work in health & social care of how we present ourselves to those in our care. Every interaction has the potential for great impact, causing people to feel loved or to feel burdensome. #dementia
🎵 Happy National Playlist Day! 🎶 Did you know that music can be a powerful tool when caring for someone with dementia? It not only brings joy to caregivers but also helps reconnect with those living with dementia 🎧💙 #NationalPlaylistDay

Thank you Beth 🙏
@bethyb1886 @Crouchendtiger7 Indeed! And likewise.
I’m doing a #WhoseShoes project re health inequalities in maternity with SW London at the moment.
I just had a ☎️ & someone said “Whose Shoes goes back a long way, doesn’t it? – I remember the work you did around dementia care!” #DementiaChallengers #MatExp
Another busy week is in full swing, but there is always time to reflect on what's been before...
I've had so much lovely feedback after @WendyPMitchell was a guest for one of my #carehome staff meetings last week. I'll say it AGAIN - you cannot beat #livedexperience in learning
