DrDr (π)Wendy Mitchell anna wharton discuss choices. How important is this throughout the dementia life and end of life course? #Diversealz
Diverse Alzheimers DrDr (π)Wendy Mitchell anna wharton Choices are v important. As is being able to change your mind. Having all this recorded so can be easily accessed & wishes complied with when die. Probably, many people still not aware of need for this or how to do it #diversealz
Dr Helen Findlay Diverse Alzheimers DrDr (π)Wendy Mitchell One thing we write in the book is that it is so important to have the same GP as you get older/develop other care needs as your GP will also know that you have been consistent in your thoughts and feelings towards care or end of life treatment
anna wharton Diverse Alzheimers DrDr (π)Wendy Mitchell This can be issue if person goes to live in nursing home as my mum did. She had same GP for 30 years but had to change as home in another area. He was okay, but even so, rather she'd kept original GP. Social Care Manager also stopped & never understood why #diversealz
