Fixing dementia care
Episode One Part 4. Gerry Robinson fights apathy and complacency to improve the culture of dementia care. What do you see that is familiar? What are you fighting in your efforts to improve dementia care?
Gerry Robinson and dementia care in UK
This is the third installment of the BBC series on dementia care in the UK in which business man Sir Gerry Robinson attempts to find out what is wrong with and fix dementia care in the UK. Let me know what you think. Can you recognise anything familiar in this installment?
More from Gerry Robinson…
This is the second 15 minute piece of Gerry Robinson’s BBC TV program in which he attempts to turn around the dementia care at several aged care homes in the UK.
Let me know what you think.
Can anyone fix dementia care?
Have a look at this video of Sir Gerry Robinson made by the BBC. He is a business man who specialises in turning around businesses from failure to success. He looks at what can be done in dementia care in two homes in the UK.
What he finds makes you want to throw your head back and wail in frustration and sadness.
Yet, he finds some signs of hope. The BBC series is broken up into several 15 minute pieces in these video clips telling the story of his journey.
This video is the first of several I will link to in a series of posts over next few days. This will be well worth your time just to see what is being done and what can be done.
Let me know what you think. What is happening in your place? What grabs your attention?
