Care UK have launched The Big Dementia Conversation for the third year in a row. Our CEO, Barbara Stephens, is delivering 'Staying connected: A guide to dementia-friendly conversations’ talks as part of it. Barbara recently delivered this at Driffield Manor Care Home, which was very well received.
“We had a great turnout from the local community to attend our ‘Staying Connected’ presentation. As we said our goodbyes hearing comments like ‘I’ve learned more today than in the last 3 years' and receiving a heartfelt hug from one lady with tears in her eyes reminded me what an honour it was to host such a powerful and informative afternoon with the fabulous Barbara Stephens. Huge thanks to Barbara for your inspirational and engaging presentation”.
