Sharing a short piece I’ve done for Nursing in Practice ‘Shifting fixed beliefs & changing behaviour’. I’m talking about lifestyle choices & health implications but could extend to our political ideas & intransigent opinions🤔 nursinginpractice.com/views/can-we-d… Jane E Douglas RN QN PhD 💙💚 CareHomesQI 💚 💙

geofio Lisa Rights For Residents My dad was blind and he knew I was there because I held his hand. He passed away peacefully with me by his side.

Now this is how to live life in a care home!! Think we are moving to Belgium! Time to dance 😎😎 #RightsForResidents

Rights For Residents Welcome. In thinking about your campaign, thinking about children and young people and impacts.

Rights For Residents Yes - I was forced to don full PPE after being told to come to the care home because mum was dying (not from covid). By the time I got to her room (after running from the foyer), she had just taken her last breath.

Question 11 from the timeline: Should dementia be renamed? Is this a thread that will run and run? #diversealz

Question 2 What do you think young carers (dementia) need? #diversealz

Question 3 Why is it important for children and young people, who come into contact with dementia, to see their future? #diversealz

Question 1 How can children and young people interact with people with dementia creatively? #diversealz #intergenerationalapproaches

Rights For Residents 😢 sadly he could be there - too many people we're not allowed to be with their loved ones when they passed (me included - Even wearing the same PPE as staff I wasn't allowed) or watched their loved ones pass on a video call.
