Some bedtime reading. Fiona's story of caring for her parents with Alzheimers before her own diagnosis. 📖

Advanced communication course, completed, pushed out of my comfort zone, but the take homes were worth it. Great opportunity to listen and identify cues. Sometimes, less is more, and it was amazing to see the dynamics of a conversation change through the use of simple pauses.

Lovely to see staff engaging with the patients and their relatives as they created some great designs for their decorated eggs today. Special shout out to staff nurse Emily's mam and dad for supplying and boiling the eggs!! 🥚🎨

Even as an experienced manager, it's quite daunting taking over an established team, so I was over the moon to receive this today 😃

The last 5 months have probably been the most challenging of my career, I haven't always felt strong so a special Thank You for all those who nominated me.

I had a few tears in my eyes watching this as the raw emotion is evident! Hats off to these amazing mascots 👏
Football is part of who we are, even after a dementia diagnosis. 💙
On Thursday 9 October, history will be made as people with dementia and England players join together, united against dementia.

I find different cultures very interesting and we've had some great discussions on ward 23 this evening around our different backgrounds and cultures and how these have changed over time #team23 #teambuilding
