Let’s keep sharing to promote cake based pampering

I’ve pretty much given up Twitter for obvious reasons sadly but thought I’d report me getting up to the big city for this already thrilling #research in #socialcare gathering @AlyMcKechnie @GaryHodge1968 @JenniKBurton @Jusacarehomeg1

Calling bereaved men: will you help my colleagues to improve the support we offer to deathbed companions? Volunteer by email at dbe.research.enquiries@lancaster.ac.uk All bereaved voices welcome, but the researchers are especially short of responses from men. Please share.

The first article in our fun-guarding series, George Coxon sets out what fun-guarding is and why it is important.
Question 4 Will there ever be a way of addressing the image so many care homes have. Remember, the notion of NEVER wanting to go into a care home has been around for decades. What needs to change? #diversealz

@DiverseAlz An historical image of people just waiting to die? when actually it is the start of the next part of living life. For many due to a need of a bit more care/support - we see many homes that (to quote @CoxonGeorge) live by fun guarding not safe just safe guarding

Hugely impactful description-thank you for sharing this. Do read one of the published pieces I wrote reflecting on the work I, & so many others in care homes, experienced during this time. @Justacarehomeg1 @geoffreydcox @AlyMcKechnie @NHSEngland @NHSDevon @lucypgeridoc #Covid
Here Prof Fong explains how every nurse he met was traumatised by watching patients die, being only able to hold up ipads to their relatives and how it went against their normal practice of trying to ensure a dignified death, with family there.

Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

Played this in the 70s in the north east-Known for sure as #rumadumbdumb. Wall bearer puts up thumb or finger & shouts “Rum a dumb dumb finger or thumb” guess wrong & the carrying team carry again - a fab yet brutal game of strength & major fun quite fancy a go this weekend🤔

Proud to be a #queensnurse & a career #carehomenurse - 22yrs! Always a strong advocate for personhood, for ensuring all residents in care homes are seen & respected. My poster this evening, illustrated the importance of #namaste care for those living with advanced dementia.

Long beach run & short but fabulous sea swim. Only 5 bits of plastic collected. Looks like my 2024 1,000 bits target a bit ambitious which is a good sign of people taking rubbish home perhaps 🤔👍
