Love this, @AhpDementia 💜 ‘The simple act of sharing ideas can unlock unprecedented change across organisations & systems’

[Christine Steel @christineahp]

I often say that the key to understanding behaviour in dementia care is just understanding behaviour. We all get overwhelmed or confused sometimes. Our responses don’t need to be complicated - staying calm & simply being with the person can make a positive difference.

Day 9 of our #12daysofChristmas we share our animation highlighting the complex relationship between #trauma & #dementia and the importance of #traumainformedpractice in improving outcomes for people living with dementia, their families, and carers.

The experience of #delirium can be terrifying and that feeling of fear can linger long after the delirium resolves. Another reason why patient & carer #education is essential to ensure everyone understands what’s happening/happened and can feel safe.

Changes in eating & drinking in dementia can be unexpected & unusual. It’s common to ‘go off’ favourite foods or develop a new preference for sweet things. Sensitivity to lumps or ‘bits’ may feel intolerable. Look for patterns to help choices. #WithSLTuCan
