Another Dementia Friends session held at the office today, with the lovely Kirsty taking the session. The staff thoroughly enjoyed the session. I would really like to create as many Dementia Friends as possible over the next 12 months and realise that this will be quite some task. However, the more Dementia Champions we have the easier it will be. Each Champion pledges to reach 100 Dementia Friends each. Hopefully I will be able to attend a session to become a Champion myself on Thursday as the local training will be held at Deda, right here in Derby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Dementia Friends session today at the office and very proud of Kirsty for delivering a great insight into dementia. Can't wait to get all our staff signed up! If you aren't aware of how and why to become a Dementia Friend, check out the video. We will be holding plenty more sessions over the next few months if you would like to join us. Will keep you all posted!

Dementia Friends Sessions
Dementia Friends session being held for our office staff today. Kirsty, one of our employees has recently become a Dementia Friends Champion. She is holding her first session in the mission to get all of our staff aware of the Dementia Friends campaign and to sign them all up!
It is a great way to spread awareness about dementia, not just to staff who work with people who have dementia but to the friends and family of the individuals that have it. We will be supporting Kirsty and a new member of staff, Satya to deliver as many of these sessions as possible to spread the word locally about Dementia.
Kirsty, together with another member of our team, Sandie, are currently writing our own Dementia Awareness training sessions as well and we can't wait to get these up and running. We have many staff at Prime Care that are really passionate about providing the right care and support to people with dementia and by being able to tailor our training directly to the individuals we support should be of real benefit.
If you would like to be a Dementia Friend, you are more than welcome to attend one of our own sessions, just give us a call to book yourself on the next session or alternatively you can go to:

Will be back with some photos later!
Have a great day.
