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
