Helicopter perspectives - day 2 of CAIT ‘train the trainers’ program for Pennine Trust. Today we take an overview of interventions in dementia care. Looking at what to do when prevention of agitation isn’t enough.
Well done to Hester Bowers from the DClinPsy @TeesPsych for her contribution to the national Faculty for the Psychology of Older People conference @FPOP_2022 presenting preliminary findings of her small scale research project. Brilliant accomplishment for a first placement 👏
@P_Maisey@FPOP_2022@CNTWNHS Thank you @P_Maisey, we have found it very helpful. It is also useful in targeting training for interventions for the different arousal phases.
Arousal graph presented #FPOP_2022 conference. It is important we provide guidance on dealing with high levels of stress and distress in dementia care. We should not collude with care homes who claim they can provide care without using some form of restrictive practices.
Thank you @ClareWinter1 from Durham and Darlington Care Home Wellbeing Service @TEWV for such a powerful presentation sharing the voices of care home staff on caring through covid. Thank you to Managers Carol, Lisa and Helen - we need to listen to and respect our care home staff
