Itβs been a busy week on Oxhey ward, marking Dementia Action week. Lots of singing and dancing with the ukulele band, colouring forget me nots, making a ward favourite song play list, seated exercise and cake decorating.
To end Dementia Action Week, team members made pledges on how they will support patients in their care. Many shared the compassionate things they already do every day, which was inspiring π
Thank you as well to Cathy, our OT, for her excellent talk on dementia and delirium π
Well done to you and the team for arranging a protected day dedicated to the development and well being of our unregistered staff.
Great to see π

#DementiaActionWeek focus is on diagnosis. Itβs vital as 1 in 3 people with dementia donβt have a diagnosis, leaving them without the care they need
Thatβs why dedicated staff like Katie, our amazing dementia nurse, are vital supporting patients & families throughout our trust.
Proud of this incredible team! Together at our away day, weβre finding our voices and changing the face of healthcare. Letβs keep inspiring each other and making a lasting impact! β€οΈ #HealthcareHeroes #Teamwork#TeamWestHerts #HealthcareLeadership#Inspiration#TogetherWeCan
