The Time for Dementia team has produced a film about how this initiative is transforming dementia care for patients and carers. See it here.
Time for Dementia is an education programme led by Professor Sube Banerjee of Brighton and Sussex Medical School with the aim of changing professional attitudes to dementia and transforming care for patients.
Time for Dementia enables students to understand what it’s like to have an illness that’s not treatable in a single episode, by providing long-term exposure to a family with a long-term illness such as dementia. Visiting people at home provides learning that cannot be taught in the classroom and highlights the role of the carer who is supporting the person with dementia, looking at the whole picture, not just the person with dementia. We hope to improve not only knowledge and attitudes but also empathy by enabling students to put themselves in the shoes of the person and family with dementia.
Time for Dementia is a collaboration between Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Universities of Brighton, Sussex and Surrey, Surrey and Borders NHS Partnership and the Alzheimer’s Society.
Thank you to patients, carers, students and staff who are taking part in the study and also to those who took part in the film.
Continuing to be me - recovering a life with a diagnosis of dementia. Paper written by Dr Stephanie Daley and colleagues, showing how many people have found ways of living a meaningful and fulfilling life with a diagnosis of dementia.
Hosted by Dr Bree Macdonald, Clinical Lead for Acute Services in Coastal West Sussex, Lead for Psychological Therapies in Crisis Teams in West Sussex (Facilitator of the CORE model within Sussex Partnership)
