@bethyb1886 @NicolaP321 @MeetMacIntyre @goodgrieftrust Award-winning, no less! ❤️
I had a lovely time @TheWags2024 last week. Not a winner on the night but a very proud finalist in the Talent Development category. I’m v passionate about training in #health & #socialcare & lovely to have my work recognised. Congrats to all the winners! Cc: @CareTalkMag
A week since I was @JDementiaCare #UKDC2024 & looking back over some photos! It was lovely to see so many friends & colleagues including @awad_gina & Gordon from @DementiaAdv (the flowers are still looking good!)
To mark Grief Awareness Week with @goodgrieftrust , we wanted to shine a light on how we support people experiencing loss and bereavement.

@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign #AlzChat Keep music & conversations at a comfortable level to avoid stress. Designate a quiet space for retreat if the PLWD feel overwhelmed. Ensure they are surrounded by familiar faces to reduce anxiety. Monitor signs of distress or fatigue and providing support as needed.
@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @AlzJoyThruTears @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault @helenfindlay @wecaredesign #AlzChat Many carers understand that the holidays might not look the same as they used to. They focus on what truly matters, like spending quality time with their loved ones, and communicate with family members about simplifying activities rather than having a big gathering
@bethyb1886 Was so lovely meeting both Mandy and Beth 💜
Great to present at #UKDC2024 with my lovely colleagues Mandy & Beth W from Christadelphian Care Homes. So lovely to see a lady approach Mandy afterwards to share how her ‘Sensory Carer’ example had been a 💡moment
This, this is how we support people living with #dementia.

A big thank you to everyone who joined @NicolaP321, @MWilding5, @SarahKilby11 & I for today’s @MeetMacIntyre @HealthMacIntyre Dementia Special Interest Group meeting. Big 👏🏼 to our guest speakers @george_rook @JptomoTomlinson. Super meeting & lots of fab learning 👍🏼
Our final @MeetMacIntyre @HealthMacIntyre Dementia Special Interest Group guest earlier was @SarahKilby11 who delved into both theory & practical support ideas when a person with dementia is experiencing changed behaviour. TY for all your support planning the meeting too Sarah!
Great to hear from @JptomoTomlinson at today’s @MeetMacIntyre @HealthMacIntyre Dementia Special Interest Group talking about @DementiaUK & supporting changed behaviour. Rule out if a person’s behaviour is affected by: Frailty - Delirium - Pain - Depression
