I never fail to be moved by the effects of finding someone’s #music #language at the advanced stages of #dementia. This lady used to be a church organist - see how she responds to hearing this familiar hymn. Please remember ppl never stop #listening @MusicforDemUK. #EOL #care 🎶

What does a good life after stroke mean for you and what support did you need to make it happen? @FionaBardon_ Kieran O’Carroll, Cliodhna Ni Bhroin, Gerard Gill, David Walpole @StrokeEurope #lifeafterstroke #ELASF2024 Really the most important session of the forum! Thank you

Wow what a powerful few days in Dublin at my first @StrokeEurope European Life After Stroke Forum! I loved that the voice of stroke survivors was central over the 2 days. Thank you for sharing your experiences and expertise.

This is Sarah and Gemma, Wendy’s daughters. Our mum died peacefully early this morning. She wrote a blog post before she died so you can read about it from her perspective.

If you never met @WendyPMitchell she kindly chatted to me after the pandemic, always an advocate for research. Incredibly sad her time has ended, perhaps a legacy could be research into dignity at #endoflife with #dementia her final words are important.

Last day of @bsg2023 started well with @erbradfield reciting an introductory poem she wrote at 3am this morning.

Fascinating presentation about @CareAesths project. Not an arts in care homes project but valuing the art within everyday practice in care.
