Dementia workshop in Oxford

Workshop on pathways to support those with dementia and their families takes place on 28th February at Rose Hill in Oxford.

Dementia workshop in Oxford

Our first ‘Leading Together’ workshop for dementia takes place at the Rose Hill Community Centre on Tuesday 28 February 2017, from 9 am to 4 pm.

The workshop aims to shape the pathway for how we can best support people who have dementia and their families.

Integral to this is creating a more positive attitude toward dementia care, ensuring that those affected by the disease have a life worth living.

As a service user stated, “A diagnosis isn’t the end; it’s simply the end of living without a diagnosis. I have decided that I will live until I die, and I really want to live.”

“I want a life worth living and not just a long goodbye!”

The workshop will include thoughts from professionals who support people living with dementia, as well as service users and their families. Highlights include:

  • Poetry slam with Jackie Peedell
  • Service user experiences
  • Question and Answer Panel – an opportunity to ask the speakers and Oxford Health questions
  • Group discussions/networking

This workshop rose from the ‘Leading Together’ scheme, which encourages NHS professionals and the public to jointly lead health-related activities.

It also draws on a wider campaign by the Department of Health called ‘Living well with dementia: A National Dementia Strategy’.
