We had a brilliant coffee morning yesterday, and a fantastic turnout for the “Dementia Bus” experience.
Thank you to Alzheimer’s Support, Carer Support Wiltshire, Carers Together Wiltshire and Healthwatch Wiltshire for coming along with information stands, which was really valuable for our visitors.
Here are just a few of the feedback comments from the event:
“Excellent training. Not what I expected, in a positive way. A lot to take away to implement into my work practice”
“Made me much more empathic. I felt quite emotional during the experience when I thought about the people who have Dementia and realised what it might be like for them.”
“As a student who is still learning, I think this is the best, most interactive learning I have done so far on my OT learning process. It has changed my whole perspective of what Dementia is like. I found this very insightful and learnt lots that I can take into practice.”
“It was an eye opener and confusing. Different to what I expected. Makes you think and realise the complexity of this awful disease & to approach it in a different way. Thank you for the valuable experience.”
“It was an emotional experience, and I am very grateful for it; and grateful that this organisation exists.”
