In 2012 Spreading Heart in Dementia Care Matters. 

 

        

"Combining a real heart for this work with changing cultures, refocusing nurses, modernising teams and achieving real outcomes makes quality unstoppable in dementia care."

 

In 2011 our key theme was Outcomes Matter and to support this we published our resource 'Achieving: real outcomes in dementia care homes.' This is our definitive guide to person centred and relationship focused dementia care.

  

In 2012 we have selected 3 connected themes: Changing Cultures, Nurses Matter and Spreading Heart.  This is because we believe and have the evidence that:

  • Changing Cultures not tick box training delivers real results
  • Nurses Matter but need their roles refocusing in dementia care
  • Spreading Heart empowers passionate leaders who become infectious

 

 In 2012 to support these themes we will be launching new resources, some of which are:

  • a new booklet in our 'Feelings Matter Most' series 'Nurses Matter in Dementia Care Homes'
  • a new DVD in our series of 8 DVDS titled ' Leading with Heart in Dementia Care'
  • a new Training DVD titled "Investing: in butterflies - the Butterfly Care Home model
  • a National Certificate course in Dementia Care titled 'Feelings Matter Most'

We are also sponsoring the award for "Best Dementia Nurse" at the National Dementia Care Awards 2012.

 

We are delighted to announce that a new full time team member joins Dementia Care Matters - Sally Knocker - known to so many people throughout the dementia care world.

  

We hope to see you at our 6th Annual Conference at University of Surrey 26 April 2012 where our conference title is ' Nurses Matter in Dementia Care Homes '

From our strong evidence base built up over 17 years we hope you will want to join us in a movement of people committed to improving quality of life for people living, working, and sharing lives together.
