@lucyjmarsters Well, I'm guessing, and hoping that this has been written in order to get a reaction and advertise 'the spectator'. In my naivety, I trust that no-one could be this crass and obtuse...........Obviously, no-one they love lives with the symptoms of #dementia .
@lucyjmarsters Could we just become an overall tolerant and kind society, willing to support others, whatever their disability or needs....... Simplistic, I know, but also simple to achieve.
#Dementia Care Team @ESHTNHS are committed to improving the lives of those living with a dementia , their carers, families and all staff. Providing education, support and role modelling, always with appropriate information, language and care.
#ESHT dementia Care Conference at EDGH tomorrow. The #DementiaCareTeam are ready. Are You?? Looking forward to fabulous presenters and stimulating Q & A.
@lucyjmarsters You may be interested to link with both the #Butterflyschemeevaluation and also #ESHT#frailtyteam. Continual support and access to education of all staff, be it substantive or bank is also invaluable.
We are honoured that Dame Barbara Windsor is standing with the #DementiaRevolution. If you have been successful in the #LondonMarathon ballot, please use your place to raise money to power groundbreaking dementia research https://t.co/lBfIHWpwaf
Dementia Care Team at #ESHT to undertake an exciting new trial for sensory therapy that will support people with a dementia who are distressed whilst in an acute hospital. Bring on 2019!! Dementia Care Conference, trial, enhanced education of staff, Virtual Dementia Tour.
@ESHT_ESME @dabarclay64 @ESHTME @ESHTNHS@stwilfridstweet Dementia Care Education to follow this example. Fresh air and daylight enhances patients, relatives and staff wellbeing. Don't forget that the therapeutic garden near Occupational Therapy is accessible to patients and relatives as well.
@Lucyscragg @nhs_sct @mitchellmuir@saraht40 @SusanMarshall30 @PilcherKate Every year I say I will go - but next year is a definite! Well done Lucy for being proud of the NHS@70
Very excited at the increased opportunity to improve care to patients at ESHT with the expansion of the Dementia Care Team. More patient and carer contact, more integration along care pathways, more teaching for staff.
@theJeremyVine There are so many people of different ages, diagnosed with a variety of dementias - and now inspiring and educating others, challenging professionals, developing services and utilising techniques to 'Live well with dementia'. Thank you for that.
