From SWLStG:
Informal Dementia Carers: Myth Versus Reality. Challenges and Rewards.
Thursday 7th April 2022
Virtual online event via MS Teams
11:30AM-13:30PM
The Research and Development department in collaboration with imaginAge would like to invite you all to the ‘Informal Dementia Carers: Myth versus Reality. Challenges and Rewards’ interactive event, to be held on Thursday 7th April 2022 from 11:30am-13:30pm. This event will be free online.
The session will be delivered in collaboration with imaginAge whose team draw upon extensive experience ranging from: the arts and media, training of carers, public health, development and change consultancy, social work, university lecturing and lived experience of caring for close relatives living with dementia.
We will focus on exploring themes and professional development related to informal caring. We will also introduce the ‘Care as You Are’ film as a tool which will help us explore the themes. Through the online platform we will engage sharing and discussion and identify professional development that can ensure we are supporting the needs of family carers more effectively and open up ideas for service development and research in co-production with carers and service users.
We welcome everyone from all backgrounds and encourage those who are health professional care workers, service users and carers or who those have an interest in dementia and the carer journey to attend.
To ensure we can run this as an interactive event, numbers will be limited so please sign up as soon as possible. To register for this free event, please sign up via Eventbrite, using the link below. We will then send out the link to the MS Teams meeting closer to the event. The final programme will be circulated closer to the event.
