Dementia: developing person centred approaches to moving and handling
24 Nov 2021
Theatre 3
M&H / Mental Health
This talk will consider reasons a person may display behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia including sensory changes. We'll look at ways to help us understand what a person living with dementia may be trying to communicate . We will then explore approaches to moving and handling during therapy and personal care tasks to ensure input is person centred and dignified, finally we'll look at how we are striving for excellence in dementia care at East Cheshire Trust.
