A great morning with the Bristol Dementia Voice group who were helping test out workshop materials for my PhD co-design workshops - using personas and live illustration. Feedback: discussion was 'much better' with live illustration, & it is hard to identify the needs of those living alone w dementia

Thought-provoking day at #UKDC2024 - the importance of active listening, therapeutic value of play, and debate around 'lie telling' and redirection in dementia are take home messages for me.

Interesting paper which discusses the usefulness of realist approaches to move beyond barriers and enablers to deeper understanding of complex systems.
