Dementia Friemds - talk by Wendy Craig-Tyler

Wed, Feb 8th 2023 at 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

At East Ayton Lodge


Club members please log in for more information.

NB:  THIS MEETING IS AT EAST AYTON LODGE HOTEL IN THE BREAKFAST ROOM = NOT The Downe Ams PRE-ORDER FROM MENU SET OUT BELOW


Our meeting on 8 February was at East Ayton Lodge with thirty six attending. After our booked speaker was taken ill Wendy Craig-Tyler stepped in at short notice to tell us about Dementia Friends.  And what a great job she did! 

Just one insight - analogy - she showed us was the bookcase analogy - visualising our most recent memories of facts, skills and emotions stored on the top shelf, and our earliest on the bottom. Any shock/instability to the bookcase causes the uppermost shelves to be dislodged. 

Impossible to summarise in this space but maybe the quote from one of our medics gets close:-


 MANY THANKS
