Asking again : What do you do in your hospital for cognitive screening? At OUH , we do an AMTS (and CAM) on all over 75s admitted but this is changing to under 65s and amts/ 4AT. Various strategies to increase rates. What are you doing in other trusts?

PEOPLE 👏🏻 LIVING 👏🏻 WITH 👏🏻 DEMENTIA 👏🏻 DESERVE 👏🏻 REHABILITATION 👏🏻 Louder for the people at the back and woe betide anyone heard saying ‘dementia = no rehab potential’.

For those with #dementia, rehabilitation is key to maintaining independence & optimal functioning. Find out more in the new WHO package of interventions for rehabilitation bit.ly/3t0v9KT #WorldAlzheimersDay

The longer someone stays in hospital The higher the risk of hospital acquired harm Getting patients home is not just about "freeing beds" it's about giving them support in the right place and keeping them well. Keeping them in hospital longer than necessary adds to risks of harm

#DementiaActionWeek might have ended but Acute General Medicine, based at the John Radcliffe, had an extra big pair of listening ears supporting their staff dementia reflection session recently. Thea is looking forward to meeting patients on her next visit! 🐕 #DAW

Activity trollies can be a great resource to engage patients who might otherwise feel bored or anxious in hospital. We are grateful to @OxHospCharity and our volunteers for supporting us to use these on some of our medical wards. #DementiaActionWeek | #DementiaAwarenessWeek

Living with dementia can make understanding the world around you much more difficult. Tasks that were once simple become more challenging and require greater concentration and effort. Our staff have been appreciating this today through simple challenges as part of #DAW

✍ “August 1939 – my wedding day” It's #DementiaActionWeek and patients and staff on CMU (Complex Medicine Unit) at the John Radcliffe Hospital are sharing some of their fondest memories. Around 1 in 4 hospital inpatients experience dementia. ℹ alzheimers.org.uk

It's #DementiaActionWeek and the theme of @Alzheimerssoc’s campaign this year is diagnosis. Getting a diagnosis can be daunting, but over 9 in 10 people affected say getting a diagnosis has benefitted them.

I sometimes struggle with the guilt of non-working even when I don’t have to work. Like my value is intrinsically tied to how long I spend staring at a laptop. It’s August ffs. I am going out in the sun. I wrote this for me and anyone who else who wants to hear it.

It was soooo good to be able to offer @PetsAsTherapyUK to patients on the complex / short stay medical wards yesterday @OUHospitals. Appa (the dog) totally worked her magic! @NurseReema @krj78 thanks @OUH_IPC for the support.

Great to see wellbeing high on the AGM band 5 nursing development day agenda @OUHospitals - what better way to start the session than with 10mins of self care through Origami 💕 - thank you @DrLizzieBurns - this was appreciated by all 👍
