Dementia Care Lead Brunelcare Integration of a Human Rights framework alongside a person centred approach to make a diference in the cultures of dementia care
What about consent, capacity, choice, control, autonomy, human rights and the right for people to choose NOT to go to a care home?

Karan Jutlla's challenge:You can't be person-centred without being culturally inclusive, and you can't be culturally inclusive without being person--centred. So why is inclusivity seen as a separate agenda?

Humbled to receive this award today. This is also recognition of tutors @DementiaStudies colleagues at @Brunelcare that have supported me to develop and grow in my role. Also for carers & colleagues who have embraced learning to make a difference for those living with dementia.
My final thought for the week… #carehomes#nurses ‘Just because we don’t have enough nurses doesn’t mean we don’t need them’ we need create models around the people we support #socialcare
One of my patients has dementia and won’t settle on night shift. He used to be a doctor. We’ve already been on our tea break, had coffee and a muffin, and he’s reviewing some ECGs I’ve given him. He falls asleep every now and then, but I think he’s doing a good job. ☺️
A powerful way to rethink imposter syndrome. Flip to a growth mindset: "The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn". Thank you @tnvora
Struggling to communicate with a patient whose dementia caused her to forget English, I had to come up with a common language.
Through laughter, we were able to bond and build an authentic relationship, leading to full compliance.
Do not underestimate the power of laughter!
Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out."
Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out."
The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.
Back of an envelope, looks like the £1,400 pay rise for NHS healthcare assistants will put them typically £4 an hour ahead of the £9.50 minimum wage earned by many #socialcare workers. This can’t go on.
