As Dementia Champion, the question I get asked more than any other is " What is the difference between Alzheimers and Dementia?"

Well let me try to explain this.

Alzheimers Disease in a form of Dementia.
Dementia is an umbrella term for diseases of the brain.
There are over 100 different forms of Dementia, Alzheimers Disease, is one of these.

So all people living with Alzheimers are living with Dementia, but not every person living with Dementia, has Alzheimers Disease.

Today, as part of Dementia awareness week I would like to encourage you to read a book , called " Somebody I used to know" by Wendy Mitchell.

Wendy , diagnosed with early-onset dementia at 58, authored three acclaimed memoirs alongside journalist Anna Wharton. Her books offer a rare, inside perspective on navigating cognitive decline, blending profound honesty with practical coping strategies to emphasize living fully in the present.

So this last week inside the Professional Carers Network we talked Locking People In and DoLS!

As a care worker we get asked so often.... "when you leave, please can you lock the door/hide the key, so mum doesn't wonder off?"

Said with love. Said in fear. Said without thinking.

It is your job, to do the thinking and guiding..... Make sure you are practising lawfully and safely, watch the vid!

I recently joined the Professional Carers Nework.
One of the many benefits is thr training they provide.

As an individual working in social care, one of the most frustrating things I struggled with was finding suitable training at an affordable cost. The PCN is giving me access to many invaluable training courses.
Today I finish my first course.
