Asking again :
What do you do in your hospital for cognitive screening?
At OUH , we do an AMTS (and CAM) on all over 75s admitted but this is changing to under 65s and amts/ 4AT.
Various strategies to increase rates. What are you doing in other trusts?

PEOPLE 👏🏻 LIVING 👏🏻 WITH 👏🏻 DEMENTIA 👏🏻 DESERVE 👏🏻 REHABILITATION 👏🏻

Louder for the people at the back and woe betide anyone heard saying ‘dementia = no rehab potential’.

The longer someone stays in hospital
The higher the risk of hospital acquired harm
Getting patients home is not just about "freeing beds" it's about giving them support in the right place and keeping them well. Keeping them in hospital longer than necessary adds to risks of harm

#DementiaActionWeek might have ended but Acute General Medicine, based at the John Radcliffe, had an extra big pair of listening ears supporting their staff dementia reflection session recently.

Thea is looking forward to meeting patients on her next visit! 🐕

Activity trollies can be a great resource to engage patients who might otherwise feel bored or anxious in hospital.

We are grateful to @OxHospCharity and our volunteers for supporting us to use these on some of our medical wards.

Living with dementia can make understanding the world around you much more difficult.

Tasks that were once simple become more challenging and require greater concentration and effort.

Our staff have been appreciating this today through simple challenges as part of #DAW

✍ “August 1939 – my wedding day”

It's #DementiaActionWeek and patients and staff on CMU (Complex Medicine Unit) at the John Radcliffe Hospital are sharing some of their fondest memories.

Around 1 in 4 hospital inpatients experience dementia.

@xandvt The dragon story - short cartoon- was helpful for my kids (5&7). They love operation ouch and are desperate for it to become viewer interactive so they can make some (gross!) treatment decisions!

@Jordan_sumner93 As a memory nurse can I suggest embracing the lights that work whilst preparing for some to fade and others to flicker 😂

@ahmedaftab68 @SpaMedica @DrPhilBanfield @DrOKaneAgain @CNagpaul @NjbBari3 @DrSelvarajah @BeingMo @DrAndrewGreen @MunchkinDr @blmdh1 So sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing support available. Support for those ‘reaching out’ is essential but not enough. We ‘train’ ourselves to put on a smile however bad the shift. We’ve got to get to a place where we can talk honestly and really listen. RIP Nicola

@DraytonPri Looks like a lot of fun!👏👏
