Workshop Abstracts
A / From a critical CQC report, to a state of the art facility, Rebecca and Jackie describe the practical steps they took in establishing and running a dementia specialist acute hospital ward
B / The Namaste Care Programme supports communication and connection in people with advanced dementia. This workshop will present a project that implemented Namaste in a community, hospice setting.
C / Dementia can affect desire and ability to eat in many ways. This workshop will present 'Nourish' - simple strategies to help prompt a poor appetite and develop calming mealtime routines.
D / The benefits of singing for people living with dementia, their loved ones and carers can be hugely significant. In this interactive workshop, Emily will show how singing can help to stimulate, heal and entertain, as well as enhance mood, memory and cognitive ability. Sharing research and experiences from her PhD - including data collection in a Danish care home, volunteering at a community singing group and directing a dementia nurse choir - Emily will outline the positive effects and impact of singing for care giving, wellbeing and quality of life. She will lead the group in a few festive harmonies, leaving you with a spring in your step and singing from the same hymn sheet.
I would like to bring a poster to display (title). There will be a prize for the best poster.
