What did our staff tell us?
What did our staff tell us?
Need more knowledge about services external
to the TrustBring back day rooms
Totally interesting and refreshing to know that so much is being done to help
improve patient care
We need more staff to be able to treat each patient with dementia
It shouldn’t be a hour it needs to be a Day to
Remember!
Need more guidance on dealing with challenging
behavioursGet more carers involved in the sessions
Introduce activity co-ordinators
Would like to see ‘This is me’ introduced
Better cups and utensils
Can we have more training
on dementia
Make more explicit the links with learning
disabilities, vulnerable adults and dementia

What have we learnt along the
way?
What have we learnt along the
way?
Great priority towardsengagements with
relatives and carers
We are reshaping our services to be much more
patient centred
We all have increased confidence in caring for patients with dementia
Dementia patients have a much higher priority –
particularly in maintaining their level of functionality
and ensuring they are discharge to the
appropriate environment as soon as possible
Staff have a more positive attitude towards caring for
patients with dementia
The importance of working with our nursing homes to give more seamless care
Raising staff awareness has been the single most important thing we have
done
