“Many older people admitted to hospital show signs of not eating or drinking well enough, especially if they suffer with dementia. BGS endorses the call for better identification and management of malnutrition among older people.” @frankfieldteam britishgeriatricssociety.wordpress.com/2018/01/25/the…
Here at @leedsbeckett we have several @DementiaFriends Champions who can support staff, students and the public to become dementia aware. Please tweet/email/DM for more info + to request a visit for a group session
We're thrilled that this carer is joining our Lay Advisory Group. If anyone else is interested, we are always looking for people with dementia and their families and friends to advise us on our research. x.com/alysgriffiths_…
Spent a couple of hours on the phone to a carer of someone with dementia this afternoon getting feedback on some research materials. Her advice to me: live every minute of your life to the full.
Great piece from Wendy - #dementiatraining important for *all* health/social care staff & learning from people living w dementia #livingwell x.com/WendyPMitchell…
