‘Dementia Care Pathway for Powys - Conversation and Action Events’
October 10th, 11th or 12th 2017
We particularly encourage professionals to support people living with dementia and their family/friends/carers to attend
What: • An opportunity to bring Health & Social Care (inc. GPs, Memory Clinics, Social Workers, Hospitals), third sector, people living with a diagnosis of dementia and family members together to have a conversation and consider a county-wide dementia pathway and plan for Powys:
1) A Dementia Care Pathway – creating a pathway for Powys based on hearing the voices of all people involved in receiving or providing services
2) Three DEEP groups for Powys - Making conversations real – on an ongoing basis.
Why? - there is an expectation in The Social Services and Well-Being Act and in reinforced in the forthcoming National Dementia Strategy for Wales that
‘You will have more of a say in your care and make decisions in an equal partnership with professionals. Not only about your care and support – but in your contribution to shaping the care and support for others.’
• But – what are the barriers? What makes this so much of a challenge we haven’t done it yet?
• How - can we make this happen Let’s find solutions
• What - do we need to do? Making a commitment to make change happen.
3) Action Plan -what next
