Made my debut on the radio @BBCLancashire today talking all things care of the older person, #DementiaActionWeek, crocheting forget-me-nots and raising awareness of the importance of getting an early dementia diagnosis 🌸 #FeelingProud

Today we said ‘Adios!’ to our wonderful Locum Physiotherapist Armando after twelve months working with ITT-CoOP and IAT. Thank you for your support over the last year and we can’t wait to hear about your adventures!

A seven day stretch completed with my bestie @SophAucklandOT benching to help with the caseload. A real mix of respiratory and complex integrated patients today alongside some wonderful feedback to bring me nicely to two weeks of annual leave. #OutOfOfficeOn ☀️

Delirium is a change in a person’s mental state that happens suddenly over 1-2 days. It’s often the first sign that someone is becoming unwell. Delirium is not the same as dementia, but they can look similar to someone who doesn’t know the person well: spkl.io/601147qfH

Big news from @NHSEngland 🚨 It's being reported that record numbers of people in England have received a #dementia diagnosis in the past year. Unsurprisingly, we're pleased to hear that! 1/6
Headline from The Guardian over a blurry image of someone performing a scientific test. Headline reads: Record number of people in England given dementia diagnosis in past year.

Really enjoyed Frankie’s in-service training, demonstrating how she’s applied and expanded her pathophysiological knowledge to the patient population she’s been treating during her rotation with us on Care of the Older Person. Well done Frankie 🌟
