“Cooking and baking are widely used in occupational therapy, both for the purposes of pleasure and to help with peoples mental health.” 🍳

Thank you all for sharing. We contacted the BBC and it's now been amended to include a quote from Dr Sally Payne! loom.ly/2odX1CA

🤦🏻‍♀️😔 Good on Royal College of Occupational Therapists for their response to contact the BBC and advise them of their error 💚

It’s Dementia Action Week next week (16-22 May)!

Why not show your support by attending a Dementia Friends Session during the week? You'll learn about what it's like to live with dementia and how to turn that understanding into action: bit.ly/39OivFh

Some valuable #WednesdayWisdom for today: No two people will experience dementia in the same way. Every person with dementia is unique, and will require different levels of care, support and communication.

No one should be defined by their condition.

We want to say a huge thanks to everyone donned their denim today for #DenimForDementia . You've brought double denim back into fashion, even triple in some cases. Big shout out to all the patient pooches who modelled jeans and jackets too.

We love this story from Brighton & Hove Buses who have joined the Dementia Friends movement and implemented changes to make their buses more accessible for people living with dementia!

Our patients have been very creative in their Arts & Craft sessions making denim accessories for #denimfordementia #DementiaActionWeek Alzheimer's Society
