King’s Fund award winning workshop – Designing Hospital Environments for People with Dementia

Thursday, March 22nd, 2012

Designing Hospital Environments for People with Dementia

Two-day residential workshops

17-18 May 2012 – Cranage Hall near Crewe;

5-6 September 2012 –  Alexandra House near Swindon

There is increasing evidence that the environment of care, particularly in acute hospitals, can have a significant effect on people who have dementia. Yet health professionals and estates and facilities staff often struggle with how best to create a therapeutic environment for people with dementia.

The King’s Fund’s award-winning Enhancing the Healing Environment programme proves that straightforward and inexpensive changes to the design and fabric of the care environment can have a considerable impact on the wellbeing of people with dementia, while at the same time reducing overall service costs.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

 To provide our Warwickshire-based Dementia Information Service for Carers – we need to raise funds.  We have been supporting families affected by dementia for almost three years and we want to continue doing this.  With your help we can.

 Would you be able to sell some tickets for our balloon release through your organisation, family, friends, colleagues or neighbours and of course, you must buy a ticket for yourself – a £1 ticket could win you a fabulous 32” Sony Bravia TV.  Join us on the day too with a picnic and your family. 

We really need your support to make this event a success and a fun day out for all.

 If you have any questions just give the office in Rugby a ring – 01788 577825.   Or call into 44 Regent Street, Rugby to buy your balloon ticket.  If you can’t make it to Rugby you can pay by calling 01993 849409.
