The past 20 months has thrown light on what’s possible when we pay attention to relationships and the cost of not doing so. Now, more than ever, we have an opportunity to build A World of Good Relationships https://t.co/Mfpj4k13mp

And the importance of including friends and maintaining friendship in the process and potential outcomes of rehabilitation/staying sociallyconnected

[Fiona Jones @JonesFio]

@HardingDebs @bridgesselfmgmt @CarolePound not an outcome anyone wants..but was also reassured once I read on.

AphasiaCREchat Q3 Sense from covid times rehab that heightened practitioner uncertainty and fear can encourage greater reliance on/retreat to blanket protocols to detriment of person centredness eg dehumanising lack of human contact for people with dementia in care homes

[Carole Pound @CarolePound]

#AphasiaCREchatQ4 Cultural change including greater awareness of the impact of both fabulous humanising interactions and also ways that people receiving (and providing) services are dehumanised by poor communication in the workplace.

[Carole Pound @CarolePound]

#AphasiaCREchat Q4 Completely agree with @MadelineCruice re broadening the conversation to include more diverse stakeholder voices (esp consumers) and co-design/co-production initiatives.

@JenThomsonSLT @Rachel_Barnard_ Glad you find the humanising framework of Todres et al and @BU_Human useful. Even more important to be mindful of potentially dehumanising protocols in Covid times.

This is urgent, @OliverDowden.

Our theatres, music venues & performing arts companies are on the brink of ruin.

We need them to survive. They need urgent investment and clear plans from government.

Please, act now #ForTheArts.
