With Kate Smith and Dr Stephen Pearson.
Live Virtual event in Zoom.
Suitable for: Care home staff and domiciliary carers.
In
this online event Kate Smith from Memory Matters (Plymouth) and Dr Stephen
Pearson, Consultant in Older Adult Psychiatry, will do a joint
presentation on strategies that can be used to help manage behavioural
disturbance in patients with dementia in care home settings. This will be
equally beneficial for people working in Domiciliary Care.
This
will include a short presentation to see challenging behaviours
as vital communication,
and gain practical strategies to identify unmet needs and provide more empathetic,
effective care.
There
will also be a short overview of some of the medications that are used in these
situations and side effects to look out for.
Questions
will be welcomed at the end of the presentation and time will be allowed for
this.
