Today is Power of Attorney Day! Hear from Carers UK Chief Executive Helen Walker about why we launched the campaign and how you can get involved. #powerofattorneyday

In clinical health psychology, we're trying to support people with chronic health conditions to manage, to grieve, to navigate chaotic systems, to get the help they need. We're absolutely not 'psychologising' distress. So many people are harmed by the idea that their distress is 'all psychological'.

Getting ready for our next team meeting! #Buckfast @steveemilton.bsky.social @elhijodevera.bsky.social

Great question posed by @dementiaresearcher.bsky.social on behalf of @swanseauni.bsky.social "How is #dementia shown in film and TV and does it shape how we think about it?" Give your views 👇

Our @steveemilton.bsky.social was delighted to host a panel of 7 people with #dementia at @rowcrofthospice.bsky.social annual dementia and palliative care conference. They discussed challenges and opportunities of living one's "best life with dementia'. And received the best conference gift!

Take 10 mins to see connections growing between people from #LGBTQIA+ communities & @spindnetworkplus.bsky.social We are delighted to be part of this work and looking forward to building on this event. You might catch our @rachaellitherland.bsky.social who was compering the day, in this great film

June and Brian were with us in the very early days of Innovations in Dementia. A wonderful award in memory 👇

Asset-based commissioning starts by asking one question: what matters to people? It looks at the strengths, skills and relationships people and communities already have. This hub brings together tools, examples and ideas so that you can make asset-based commissioning a reality 🔗 buff.ly/ipIO5yO

People who arrange and pay for their own care and support can face a confusing system with little support. The Department of Health and Social Care wants to hear from them to understand their experiences and make things work better. You can access the survey here buff.ly/xcuUyqX

#Dementia #Conversations offers a safe and supportive space to talk openly about these experiences. These monthly conversations are for anyone interested in dementia and dementia related matters. The next Dementia Conversations will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 11th February 7pm-8pm GMT.

This will be great 👇

We've been delivering Empowered Conversations at Salford Royal for a few years. The #course offers attendees a space to pause and think about #communication, get #curious around how #dementia impacts on a person's ability to communicate and then try out some new ways to #connect. Great feedback!
