Back for Day Two!!

20/11/2025

Headed off for three days of information overload but most importantly catching up with fellow pods at our professional conference in Glasgow.

Hate to mention it in November but just posting my Christmas leave in advance (especially as it’s only 5 weeks till my holidays).

If anyone is looking to get their feet done before Christmas then please get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. Thanks x

My patient saw yesterday’s post and put a wee story up on insta about their own feelings to Buzzy Bee . I really do love getting reviews like this and i will always do everything i can to help you. Thank you so much to my patient and to Stirling Podiatry for renting me use your facilities and equipment. It’s all about team work 💪🏻 👣

Managed to be the first to get to try the new buzzy bee 🐝 today for nail surgery. Great piece of equipment to use and patient today really liked it. Simply put: The ice pack helps to cool the skin and the vibrations help to distract. The bee is then moved further back up the foot to continue the distraction while the local anaesthetic is given. A really good tool for the pods to use 👣

We know having minor surgery can be nerve wracking and we have a range of ways of making you more comfortable, including our new addition Buzzy! Buzzy uses different sensations to help confuse your brain so it doesn’t interpret the sensation of an injection in the same way. This greatly improved patient comfort during a recent surgery and helped reduce their discomfort during the anaesthesia. Thank you to them for allowing us to share this photo. Buzzy can be used on patients of all ages and is just one of the ways we help make your visit that bit more comfortable.

A lovely little nail surgery completed this morning. Please remember that even though I just do home visits I can also do your nail surgery (if required) thanks to my awesome links with Stirling Podiatry, who allow me to rent clinic time.

Just a little bit to remember if you are out guising this Halloween 🎃 👇🏻

🎃 Halloween and Dementia Awareness 👻

For many, Halloween is all about fun, fancy dress, and spooky surprises — but for someone living with dementia, it can be a confusing and even frightening time.

Loud knocks at the door, strange costumes, and unexpected visitors can all cause anxiety or distress.

If you’re out guising or trick-or-treating, please remember this simple rule of thumb:

👉 Only knock on doors of houses that are decorated.

It’s a small act of kindness that makes a big difference.

For those living with dementia — and for others who may find Halloween unsettling — that quiet, undisturbed evening can mean the world. 💜

Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the spooky season — we’re not the fun police, just spreading a little kindness. 🎃💫

A wee reminder that I will be off on my October school holidays from Tuesday 14th October to Tuesday 28th October.

I will be away for most of it, and at times I may not have signal to reply, so all messages will be dealt with upon return to work. Thanks for your understanding 👣

We’re proud to launch SafeConnect in partnership with Police Scotland – a new safeguarding initiative to support people with dementia who may be at risk of going missing.

The SafeConnect fob is a small, yellow device that can be carried or attached to clothing. It holds secure emergency contact details and can be scanned with a smartphone using Near Field Communication (NFC) to help quickly reunite someone with their loved ones or carers.

After a successful pilot in Argyll & Bute and West Dunbartonshire, we're now rolling out SafeConnect fobs free of charge to anyone living with dementia across Scotland.

To request a free SafeConnect set-up pack or learn more about the initiative, please visit our website - www.alzscot.org/safeconnect-request/
