Dawn I really hope I get to meet you one day. I worked within a team giving 1:1 care to people living with a dementia and/or delirium. Knowing about BPSD certainly helps in trying to establish 'unmet needs,' often pain or worrying about a family member. I truly believe in 'This is me...Alzheimer's society document. But Person centred care is essential in seeing the person and helping them. I so look up at you. The carers often were so grateful for having someone listen to them too, as they often feel alone. I will continue in my plight to raise awareness, alongside beginning my journey as an Alzheimer's volunteer. I'm a care support worker, if I was higher my god what I would love to do e.g. Rgn - in my hospital. All I know is a 'Person centred approach' alongside providing reassurance and activities works end of. Thankyou for your validation in the way I work.
