We have been lucky enough to be loaned an interactive reminiscence box from The Royal Mint. Patients on Oxhey have been able to look at old coins and new coins with the Kings head. It has been interesting to listen about the history of coins and has sparked many conversations.

1 in 3 people born today will develop dementia, but small actions can make a big difference. 🧠💙 Dementia Friends training empowers you to support those living with dementia and create a kinder, more inclusive community. It’s fantastic to see Volunteering NHS WestHertsTeachingHospital getting involved 👏🏻

“The most important thing is treating our dementia patients as individuals, holistically, and remembering that one size does not fit all.”  Listen as Katie Pardy – Dementia Specialist Nurse – and colleagues speak about their experiences of the Virtual Dementia Tour training bus.

Meet Rachel – our fantastic Activities Coordinator! ✨   Rachel helps patients with dementia and delirium by engaging them in activities and creating a stimulating environment.    She says: "If I can make a patient smile or laugh then I feel I have done a good job.”

#DementiaActionWeek focus is on diagnosis. It’s vital as 1 in 3 people with dementia don’t have a diagnosis, leaving them without the care they need That’s why dedicated staff like Katie, our amazing dementia nurse, are vital supporting patients & families throughout our trust.
