Thanks to everyone involved. It was wonderful to hear the positive impact person-centred care planning has had for patients, carers and staff. Inspirational is often over-used, but to have undertaken quality improvement in hospital settings through the pandemic is just that.

[Focus on Dementia @FocusOnDementia]

Thanks to all teams who attended the final learning session for #Focusonhospitals yesterday.
Great to hear so many examples of teams improving person-centred care planning to reduce stress and distress for people with #dementia in hospital settings @stephenlithgow @AlzScotDNC

[Marie Innes @marieinnes1]

Thank you so much to all who donated for my firewalk for @ScotFamADrugs. I have a few blisters, but it was worth it to raise money in memory of my fearless boy, Ryan, who I know would have approved of his feartie mum!
You can still donate at the link below

[Playlist for Life @PlaylistforLife]

"Many of the patients found themselves singing along to the music. Seeing their favourite singers/bands on screen also had a positive effect."

@hewitt_ot shares her experience of using music videos on an acute dementia ward with @alzscot: https://t.co/WTA6taeuXD
