I love the ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures on Person to Person cover, which challenge the stereotypes and are the opposite of what has been depicted in recent ‘awareness’ campaigns.

I never fail to be moved by the effects of finding someone’s #music #language at the advanced stages of #dementia. This lady used to be a church organist - see how she responds to hearing this familiar hymn. Please remember ppl never stop #listening @MusicforDemUK. #EOL #care 🎶
On #InternationalMomentofLaughterDay 2024, we are reminded by its founder Izzy Gesell that “laughter comes right after breathing as the just about the healthiest thing you can do.” What are the ways you bring fun and giggles to your team and to the people you support?

One of my favourite ever #DesertIslandDiscs @BBCRadio4 @laurenlaverne Powerful honest and beautiful story of #immigration #Refugees #Afghanistan This should be compulsory listening for all MPs? @RishiSunak @Conservatives @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Work stress is believed to account for 30% of #NHS absences in the UK, costing £300-400 million a year. Amanda Bewert asks why we don’t invest in more ‘primary’ approaches for preventing stress at work. Do you have examples of how you have done this? ow.ly/Nkcf50R5wfx

“The Asian community up and down the country was under siege. It was about time we did something for ourselves. In the face of racist violence and injustice we fought back.” This is OUR story. Please watch #Defiance Fighting the Far Right 9pm on Channel 4
“Did you have curry? I can smell it.” For a TEACHER to point that out to you tears you apart.” This interview broke my heart, especially when she recalled feeling so proud of herself when she knew some of the questions and put her hand up - but she never got picked #Defiance
Very powerful and important documentary @Channel4 reminding us both how far we have come in some ways, yet how much still to do in others. A tough watch #Defiance
Fantastic interview @angelacatley - The scrabble story really got me. 😔 Two friends separated and we construct contrived ‘befriending’ services, ‘therapies’ etc. I’m full of furiousity! Can we plan an in-person day to share our fears & imaginings? Will message!

THANK YOU Pippa for the fabulous conversations I’ve mostly listened to in the car going to my mum. My own podcast with you will be something I would put in my memory box as it captures a lot of my story so well. Your insight & wisdom enabled many to be open & to inspire others!

"I can’t even bring myself to get angry with anyone because they all seem to have meant well but the process, the system, the protocols, take hold & the wrong thing happens even though everyone can see it’s wrong ". Adrian Chiles, you took the words right out of my mouth.

@sheedy_shelley @sallyknocker @CARPOttawa True. Sadly many are run as “ institutions “ and not homes. No one wants assembly line care or minimal care. Staffing issues a big issue too …
In our Butterfly culture change transformation, this is definitely one of our things to address too! We love to see a great range of favourite mugs and cups which tell the story of who a person is - dogs, football teams, ‘Grandma’ etc.

This lady used to be a church organist - see how she responds to hearing this familiar hymn. Please remember ppl never stop #listening @MusicforDemUK. #EOL #care 🎶
@MyFutureCareUK @Kazza64p @PalliativeNNUH @NancyCu19 @sallyknocker @KeebleM So looking forward to it
On #InternationalMomentofLaughterDay 2024, we are reminded by its founder Izzy Gesell that “laughter comes right after breathing as the just about the healthiest thing you can do.” What are the ways you bring fun and giggles to your team and to the people you support?
Work stress is believed to account for 30% of #NHS absences in the UK, costing £300-400 million a year. Amanda Bewert asks why we don’t invest in more ‘primary’ approaches for preventing stress at work. Do you have examples of how you have done this? ow.ly/Nkcf50R5wfx
@babankulu @suzysopenheart @sallyknocker @MyCareMatters @Crouchendtiger7 @debbunt Yes, afraid it is my last Dubhglas. But the body of podcasts remains there, in the ether, & I know care companies & trainers already make use of them. My guests have all been completely brilliant #dementia #care
@piponthecommons @suzysopenheart @sallyknocker @MyCareMatters @Crouchendtiger7 @debbunt Pippa, you have been a life line to me as a carer. A piece of comfort during long days of heartache & loneliness. Thank you. Just hoped there would be many more podcasts.
Thanks Anna, looking 4ward to reading @sallyknocker
@DUETcare Yes food can be a really powerful way to reach someone. @sallyknocker’s article on food & memory is well worth a read. mycarematters.org/tag/food/
"I can’t even bring myself to get angry with anyone because they all seem to have meant well but the process, the system, the protocols, take hold & the wrong thing happens even though everyone can see it’s wrong ". Adrian Chiles, you took the words right out of my mouth.

@sallyknocker It’s brings back great memories …I do believe my contribution to that list was red wine 😉
In our Butterfly culture change transformation, this is definitely one of our things to address too! We love to see a great range of favourite mugs and cups which tell the story of who a person is - dogs, football teams, ‘Grandma’ etc.
Nothing sinks my heart more than seeing people with #dementia being automatically presented with plastic children’s cups (in every & any primary colour), spouted beakers, large tartan tabards branded as “clothing protectors”, a ‘spoon culture’… the list goes on 😔🥤🥣🫕🍼🥄

@sallyknocker I think it's made its point. But I am genuinely concerned that it triggers people and depresses them further. It sets an overly nihilistic tone. We do need a national discussion. Thanks Sally. @soniasodha
On this Easter Sunday i am sending light & love to all who are affected by #dementia whether they r living with one of the conditions or a loved one/carer. There is so much we can do to support u to continue to live a meaningful life
Beautiful eloquent interview @sallyknocker thank you x
And an additional layer of fear for me is that I might also encounter prejudice and even hatred. #WhenIGetOld m.youtube.com/watch?v=WcD7Zr…
What a lovely way to celebrate the fantastic success of @Artsincarehomes - brilliant 5 years led by amazing Alison and support from @NAPAlivinglife @Baring_Found and wide range of creative arts organisations. Lovely to catch up with familiar folk and make some great new friends!

@SteveMilton1 @sallyknocker @alzheimerssoc Thank you for this I agree dehumanising it is and irresponsible to promote this tragedy narrative
