@malanwilkinson Love to you ❤️

Strong message from presentations in this morning's #BSG2020 @BSGcreativeSIG is that arts and culture provide an amazing resource through which to inspire adaptation and build resilience, in research and in life.

Currently editing my Concept Analysis on LGBTQ Micro aggressions in Dementia Care ready for publication. Does anyone know of any good, relevant, journals that are good for authors with dyslexia/ dyspraxia? I have had an awful patronising experience in the past. #AcademicChatter

Amazing slide from @artymccarthy @ChampionsGm on the spend by older Greater Manchester residents on recreation, culture, restaurants and hotels - £3.5bn in 2018 alone!!!

[String of Hearts @StringofHearts_]

@artymccarthy really enjoyed your presentation on co-production of new cultural experiences by older people - this is so important! Awesome how many creative care kits are being distributed across GM too #BSG2020

[The Green 🟢T (Plants & Arts for Health) @TheGreenOT1]

what is meaningful co-production? being discussed now at @BSGcreativeSIG symposium #BSG2020

Congratulations!!!

[REAL listening is key @SarahReed_MHR]

So chuffed to have won the #HomeCareAwards Best Activities category for my #ManyHappyReturns #Chatterbox cards. Real #connection and #communication matters in dementia care. And congratulations to all the other winners 😊

[Elder @ElderHQ]

Tommy Dunne (@tommytommy18) is an inspirational campaigner on dementia rights. We spoke to him about how you live with #dementia, you don't suffer from it: https://t.co/csbfVh7NEA @YoungDementiaUK @Dementia_Action #DAW2019 #UnitedAgainstDementia #alzchat #diversealz.

40%+ of those with dementia in care settings have #swallowproblems. Eating involves our eyes & perception too. Cooking puréed food is an art. Moulds mean purée resemble the original food. But only #goodcommunication can help normalise the #experience
Thanks @LeightonShorter DAW19

[REAL listening is key @SarahReed_MHR]

#Compassion and #kindness sits at the very heart of good care of a person with #dementia and becomes increasingly important as a person’s condition deteriorates and their ability to #communicate diminishes. It’s all any of us would want, isn’t it? #DementiaAwarenessWeek2019

[Zoe Harris @ZoeHarris_MCM]

This reminds me of the comments we collected at the Alzheimer's Show two years ago and reflected in this wordcloud. It was all about people wanting, when in #hospital, to be treated as a person. #personcentredcare #patientsarepeople

[Second Childishness @2ndChildishness]

Due to family illnesses & bereavements which floored me for quite some time, I didn't feel able to continue with my dementia work. A fabulous couple of months in India - holiday & work - has lead to me feeling I can begin revisiting the theatre piece I started researching. Hello!

[StaffordshireTheatre @StaffsTheatre]

An important piece of #theatre about effects of #Alzheimers and the incredible power music can play, comes to #Lichfield @The_Garrick Sun 17 - 'In Other Words' @OTM_Theatre https://t.co/6aYXJv5BhL
★★★★ “A moving depiction of enduring love.. quietly heartbreaking” THE STAGE
