Today we bring the 2nd half of our Top Ten Tips to empower and support someone who is living with dementia. These are just small steps to improve understanding, just as we are encouraging everyone to step out this winter to #KeepMovingForDementia in support of our new campaign.

Today we hosted an event for The #HerbertProtocol, an #initiative that helps people with #dementia stay safe and #independent. Our members helped it come to NI, including a #collaboration with #BlueLights for a storyline about a man with dementia who needed to get home safely.

Does your patient need you to provide reassurance?
Kindness goes a long way in #delirium.

Delirium isn't just confusion—it's often frightening, & carries high risks.
Patients may hallucinate, become agitated, or unusually withdrawn.
Family awareness helps in early recognition.
