Good to see this Best practice for sharing a Diagnosis of #Dementia reaffirms the integral role of #Neuropsychology.
Unacceptable that West Suffolk Memory services no longer have Neuropsychology.
@SNEEICB_WS should commission according to Best Practice guidance.

It can be difficult to know how to react when a friend or neighbour is bereaved.
Here are some useful suggestions to help us overcome that awkwardness...

[Kathryn Mannix @drkathrynmannix]

Well done @BBCMorningLive @jacquijdesigns for showcasing the impact of 'turning away' from bereaved friends & neighbours.
Here are a few ideas for getting back in touch with people you feel may awkward to approach.

This is how you REALLY examine your breasts.

Let me show you -
What to look for
Where to feel
How to feel
What a cancer might feel like

I NEVER checked mine - I didn’t think I would get #breastcancer. I was wrong.

Felt very chuffed to be told today that our service is "ahead of the curve"
Apparently our team is the first Older People’s #MentalHealth team, nationally, to receive HEE Eating Disorder training.
Both upskilling our team and raising awareness of OP needs

#CFT lovers
Hit me with your current practice with #OlderPeople
What's working well?
Interested in how people are applying CFT to later life transitions, body changes, anticipatory mortality, etc
#dclinpsy Trainees what's inspired you?
I know there'll be heaps of wisdom out there

What really is #BlueMonday?
What are the factors believed to be influencing our #mood today?
What can we do about it?
Can 5mins of specific breathing really help?

2/2
If you know anyone who might be at special risk, for example, an #older person living on their own, make sure they know what to do to stay warm and are well stocked with food and medications.
If you are worried about your health or that of somebody you know, ring #NHS 111

[Dr. Rebecca Poz (also on Blue Sky) @rebeccapoz]

🥶Level 3 Severe #Weather UKHSA advice:
Make sure that you stay warm
If going outside make sure you dress appropriately
If indoors, make sure that you keep your heating to the right temperature (at least 18°C)
Wearing suitable clothing

Great interview (obvs!)
And warns against creating services based on data not demand
"it doesn't address the demand or the needs of the population; it's addressing the people that pick up the crisis helpline. That doesn't tend to be older people."

Here's the paper on how leaders can enable change written by @gagenmac. The theme is "the three things that change everything": 1) Telling a compelling story 2) Developing committed leaders 3) Creating an intentional roadmap rather than a project plan: https://t.co/U9l9Q5Lc5h
