Today marks my last day working in health and social care, it has been a rollercoaster experiencing the sector in management and quality roles, especially with a pandemic thrown into the middle of it! Really excited to be returning to the NHS, feel like I'm going home! #nurse

Inspiring to hear how a few sticky notes on a care home wall led to a suite of charts to improve communication in over 1400 care homes & the creation of a #MyFutureCare handbook. Thank you for sharing your emotive story @ZoeHarris_FRSA. @AlzheimersShow #ACP #dementia #care #chart

‘Labels are for parcels not for people’. Powerful words about the use of #language in #dementia care by @MikePTrain. We have an ethical responsibility to have unconditional positive regard for everyone. #LGBT+ #inclusive

This is a brilliant, must listen podcast. We need more of these voices of direct care workers like Bonnie. Bathing a woman who everyone says is a ‘nightmare’, she takes time to make it a ‘luxury not just a task’, show respect & sit with her. Please share @NCFCareForum @vicrayner

Visited my husband today. Spent 2hrs talking about our life, home, daughter, holidays. Looked at photos. Drank coffee. When I got up to leave he said”Thank you for coming. Who are you?” I hate Alzheimer’s
