A Gentle Introduction to Dementia with dementia specialist nurse Julie Green
Manage episode 330778252 series 2927760
Dementia is a word which we've become increasingly familiar with over the years, but still, understandably, strikes fear in our hearts. In this episode I talk to Julie Green, Dementia UK's Deputy Clinical Lead and an Admiral nurse with thirty years experience caring for the elderly, twelve of them in a dementia specialist role.
We talk about the types of dementia, how best to 'be' with someone who has dementia eg: should you enter their world or correct their mistakes?
Caring for someone with dementia is isolating and can be soul destroying. Dementia UK has lots of useful information on its website: dementiauk.org and has a great helpline, run by trained Admiral nurses: 0800 888 6678.
Julie also recommends two books: Validation: Feil Method by Naomi Feil; and Dementia Reconsidered, Revisited; the person sill comes first by Tom Kitwood.
I hope you find this episode supportive and helpful.
