I am a highly skilled, respected and experienced trainer and mentor for the health and social care workforce. Training I’ve co-designed and co-delivered was double award winning in 2024, and I was also a finalist in the WAGS Talent Development Category in 2024. My achievements in my training and mentoring work also contributed to me winning Outstanding Contribution to Dementia Care in the inaugural Dementia Care Awards in 2024.
I am frequently commissioned to create bespoke training resources to meet specific workforce needs, and work closely with clients to meet (and exceed) their expectations, co-designing and co-delivering training whenever possible with people who have lived experience. I aim to create educational experiences that last in the hearts and minds of teams for years to come, leading to real and lasting changes in practice that benefit the people who draw on the support provided.
COMMENTS ABOUT MY TRAINING AND MENTORING
“I have had the pleasure of working with Beth on numerous projects, and each time I am more impressed by her expertise, attention to detail, and the thoroughness of her work. Beth is a brilliant trainer, mentor, and speaker who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure the content, materials, and support she provides are perfectly tailored to your needs or business. What truly sets Beth apart is her ability to make lasting impacts—years after attending her sessions, my team still references the skills, insights, and knowledge they gained from her training. This is a testament to the lasting influence of her work. I wholeheartedly recommend Beth and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.”
Laura McEwan, Director, Net Care Franchise Group

Sharing her knowledge, skills and passions to support staff teams to have more awareness of dementia, Beth is committed and passionate, determined to make a difference in the world of dementia and with a creative approach to everything she is connected and linked too. I hope to continue to work alongside Beth for many more years to come.”

WHY CHOOSE ME AS A TRAINER/MENTOR FOR YOUR STAFF?
My mission: A training and mentoring experience that gives learners a comprehensive understanding of how to relate to the person/people that they support and their individual realities, to enhance the care and support that they provide. All of my training and mentoring is bespoke and modifiable as learning progresses, tailored to the needs of the individual learner(s), the people they support and the service/organisation that they work for.
My vision: To provide practical, understandable and actionable training and mentoring that is engaging, inspiring and impactful, leading to lasting change in the learner’s practice that is reflected in the experiences of the people that they provide care and support for, and that positively influences the culture of their service/organisation to make it genuinely aligned with what any of us would want for our own loved ones.
My values: To embed my personal experiences, and the experiences of the numerous people I’ve met who are ageing and/or living with dementia or supporting a loved one who is ageing and/or living with dementia, into everything I teach to make it as realistic as possible. I aim to facilitate improvement within every social care service I provide training and mentoring for by:
- Supporting and advising learners, building their confidence alongside their knowledge.
- Identifying and filling gaps in learners understanding throughout the learning process.
- Sharing examples of good practice and signposting to relevant resources/organisations to support each learner’s continuing education.
- Stimulating discussion and the mutual transfer of knowledge and understanding between learners and to improve my own practice.
- Working with learners to create plans that support them to put their learning into practice, and following these up to ensure a real and lasting change in the care and support that they provide.
