We've conducted one of the largest ever research studies into older people's experiences of residential care.

It reveals 6 key ways that older people can thrive in a care home, if the conditions are right.

I’ve seen pictures Laughing Boy’s justice quilt so many times but nothing prepared me for the impact of its power in real life. Pianist courtesy of St James’s Piccadilly where it is hanging.

[Sally Nieman @js_nieman]

Just seen this play at @JSTheatre - it will stay with me forever. What an amazing performance filled with sadness, love and the desire to campaign for justice. Go and see it if you can.

[Deborah Coles @DebatINQUEST]

Tender, beautifully written & performed play ⁦@JSTheatre⁩ about Connor #laughingboy and a family who fought for him in life and death. Brilliantly conveys cruelty of how the state responds to its failure. A must see. You will rage, cry, laugh & be inspired to demand change.

50% of people taking part in remote meetings multitask during the meetings (and we are doing more of it). Here is an excellent research-based article from @asana to remind us why we should try not to multitask. It's bad for our productivity & our mental health. It creates burnout: "Every single time we switch there is a cost. It's draining. It's taking longer to do the same thing".

A great blog from someone living with dementia to challenge the stigmatising messages from the current advertising campaign

@SteveMilton1 @Innov_Dementia @alzheimerssoc I couldn’t agree more

@neilmcrowther I am totally shocked by what such an influential charity has done. Just can’t fathom it. Thanks for sharing the lovely clip of your dad.

[Sally Nieman @js_nieman]

@MorrissLisa Thanks Lisa, the book itself has been so helpful to me so hope I can encourage others to use it. Hoping to submit my PhD in a few months and then I would love to write an article for QSW.

[Sally Nieman @js_nieman]

Really pleased to have the opportunity to share some ideas from my PhD study into the role of social work with older people in care homes
