yes the slides can be shared

Good morning all

As student nurses on placement in Llandudno General Hospital, we have gained a wealth of experience in caring for patients with dementia prior to joining the course. It was such experience that inspired us to pursue a career within nursing. Lucy & Alex :)

that is great to hear Lucy and Alex

That's lovely to hear Lucy and Alex

It would be great to see this extended further to Allied Health Professionals too. Too often, undergraduate teaching and learning experiences around dementia are often so few.

Watch some highlights from a Time for Dementia conference video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhdsFv8pbfY&feature=youtu.be

hi Laura, great comment, we have worked with some allied health professional courses including physio therapists, speech and language therapists and occupational therapists as well as dieticians.

we have delivered Time to AHPs and it has been very successful

That's brilliant to hear, Lauren. What a wonderful programme!

can some one talkabout getting a diagnosis right I'm the first place

hi chris

Time for Dementia does not necessarily provide the skills for a diagnosis, it is more focussed on attitudes and understanding for what it is like to live with the condition

To get in touch or to find out more contact the Time for Dementia team on timefordementia@alzheimers.org.uk

The carers perspective is key I believe.

Thank you Trudy and Baz, it’s always powerful to hear real life experiences.

Good to hear from Trudy and Baz today

Really interesting thank you Trudy and Baz

Thank you Trudy and Baz - it is very important for all of us to hear your story - much appreciated.

Watch our family film here: https://youtu.be/EvdE85OFz0s

Trudy and Baz - good to hear from you☺️

thank you Trudy and Baz as a current student this was very helpful hearing your story

Confidentiality is drummed into people so much that sometimes people struggle to see beyond it- really good to hear from Trudy and Baz and Mo about how it's important to see the 'family unit' as key. The family is living with dementia

Thank you so much Trudy and Baz. you are very dignified in your sharing. Bl

great to hear how this programme is promoting a more person and relationship centered care 🙂

Chris you are a total inspiration x

For more information on Time for Dementia visit www.alzheimers.org.uk/timefordementiaOr get in touch with us on timefordementia@alzheimers.org.uk

So profound Chris - thank you - breaking through the fear is radical and powerful

Students get to know the person with dementia over time and they tell us that they have a much broader understanding of dementia and how it affects people - so not just about memory

Please can we be involved in the programme? It sounds so helpful in every way. Nigel was diagnosed with dementia 2 years ago. We would really love to be a part of this important work.

Hi Nigel, we'd be happy to talk to you about being involved, if you can contact us on timefordementia@alzheimers.org.uk then a member of the team can give you a call to discuss

It's good to hear this programme is rolling out across other parts of the country. I feel this type of education should be mandatory across medical professions. Or at least that to be the inspiration moving forwards. Well done to everyone involved in this programme, it's so important, thank you.

Wonderful to hear so many different perspectives in today's call. Many thanks to all for sharing what you have so far. Just a question for Chris, did any staff raise concerns regarding self-administration of medication in hospital (just linking to the of course inaccurate stereotype that those with dementia are unable to do as many things for themselves)?

Thank you Amy, we have big dreams to reach more students going into healthcare!

The enlarging of the process to include all health care professsionals is very very valuable and must be encouraged.

I think it is very important that health professionals have more understanding via your project. However, Many people are cared for by care staff who do not have degree status but would welcome more info and training. Is there a plan to role it out to this part of the workforce?

To get in touch or to find out more contact the Time for Dementia team on timefordementia@alzheimers.org.uk

There isn't at the moment, but this is something which we would like to expand - regarding the wider workforce

Thank you so much, all presenters. Your presentations were powerful and impressive. Keep up the good work!

Thanks to all contributors

are there any plans to offer this to student social workers too?

Thank you for your presentation it has been very powerful.

this is Chris film's

We would love to hear from you Roisin

I've already sent all the info to my Speech and Language Therapy link in Cardiff uni 😊

Great :)

We need to unite our voice in Wales, spread the word and lobby our Welsh universities to commission TFD
