Prof Gail Mountain and Olubukola Otesile (University of Sheffield) attended an event
organised by the Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Clinical Networks in Leeds
on the 25th of June 2015. This event was titled ‘Ahead of the game
in dementia’ and was aimed at providing an opportunity to share good practice
in dementia care across Yorkshire and the Humber. This event attracted over 200 delegates from
the CCGs, Councils, NHS trusts, Universities, other statutory agencies and
voluntary organisations.
Prof Mountain’s presentation was around the provision of
psychosocial interventions in post dementia diagnosis which showcased results
from an audit of memory services giving a snapshot of the interventions being
provided and planned across the region as well as a range of evidence based
interventions for people with dementia and their carers from literature.
There were other workshops covering: education and training,
Carer support, Dementia friendly communities, Accessing peer support, Improving
the whole patient pathway and End of life care.
The highlight of the day was hearing personal everyday experiences of a person diagnosed with dementia and a carer.
