I’m very exciting to be presenting this for the North Central London Training Hub on Thursday! Many people who are living with #dementia identify as #LGBT- healthcare professionals should be aware of the unique considerations to providing truly person centred care and support 🌈

HAPPY ELECTION DAY.

Everyone has this friend. If you don’t have this friend…you are this friend. (It’s me, I’m the friend).

I was asked by a friend today what to look for when supporting a loved one to choose a care home. I said to look beyond fancy decor/what it looks like. Instead, do the people living there look happy, do staff go to them when they ask for something etc. What would you advise?

So our oldest patients are most likely to be stranded in EDs for long lengths of time awaiting admission and by doing so increase risk of delirium. So important system wide change now occurs to end this harm Royal College of Emergency Medicine British Geriatrics Society

This looks like an amazing opportunity- I’m gutted that #physiotherapists can’t apply!! (Hopefully one day they will consider it?) Dementia UK Consultant Admiral Nurse – Frailty and Physical Health dementiauk.org/about-us/work-…

I think this is a fabulous development- chasing & clarifying weight bearing statuses is frustrating for everyone involved, so hopefully this will make the journey smoother for everyone involved.

To any #library, community centre or otherwise who had books destroyed or vandalised by the riots- please get in touch and I’ll donate as many copies of my children’s book as I can afford to help rebuild your collection ❤️

The workforce/resources do not exist to provide basic rehab, let alone more, for people living with frailty in the health/social care system. This costs way more than rehab itself & more importantly, drastically reduces quality of life in the final years of patients & loved ones.

It gets me right in the feels when lovely people share pictures of their little ones enjoying Big Bear, Little Bear and #Dementia. I hope, in some small way, this helps to nurture a generation who are kind & understanding towards people affected. (shared with consent)
