Speech and language therapy has a vital role in good care across the dementia journey. Family communication strategies are key to care and good relationships. Excellent PhD paper by Laura Braithwaite Stuart Dr Catrin Hedd Jones and Prof Gill Windle

Loneliness and isolation can exacerbate symptoms of Dementia. Occupational Therapists understand the positive impact of group interventions on a persons mood, self esteem,social and psychological wellbeing. Consider engaging in groups to help manage symptoms. #WithOTuCan

Happy to be a stuck record on this. You can't get an ambulance at the moment because we lack care workers. The answer doesn't lie in NHS hospitals or ambulances, it lies in social care. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

A great visit to Monnow Vale Health and Social Care Centre yesterday. Brilliant to hear about their collaborative approach to integrated working across health and social care and how this is benefiting our patients. Looking forward to seeing how this develops in the future.

Tea for two at 2pm - such a wonderful initiative @nhsswft - enabling really patient focused care and a wonderful way for non- ward based staff to get involved 👏👏

Inactivity with hospitalisation is disastrous for physical function in older adults. So much so that >30% of older adults leave hospital unable to do at least one activity of daily living they could do independently beforehand. But it doesn’t take much activity to offset these

Well its a official. It’s never too late to get moving is it 💪🏽😀 Mary is 100 years old today and still going strong. She did the workouts with us during lockdown and she still keeps up her fitness with my senior workouts on YouTube every week❤️ RT if this inspires you 🙌🏽

We are so good at abandoning and rushing to something “new” in the #NHS Imagine if we took the time to learn from current situations first & reflected on best course of action Maybe we’d stop going round the same hamster wheel again & again

What could be better on your 100th Birthday than taking a spin around Monmouth on our trishaw with a special friend! Thanks to our volunteers for helping to make this happen, x Bridges Centre Monmouthshire / Sir Fynwy Cycling Without Age
