Seminars
10.30am – 11.00am: Who Cares about Care
Nadra Ahmed OBE, Chair, National Care Association
Nadra will be taking a look at the challenges providers face and consider the opportunities arising from innovative partnerships. As the sector faces challenging times the pressure to work collaboratively is ever more pressing. Raising collective voices will overcome challenges more effectively than silo working models.
11:30am – 12.00pm: Dementia to Rementia: Reducing the symptoms of dementia with cognitive rehabilitation therapy
Jackie Pool, Director of Memory Care, Sunrise Senior Living
Jackie will introduce the key factors of nutrition, emotional health and cognitive therapy as rehabilitation approaches. She will describe how these approaches are delivered in the Enriched Memory Care with Therapy service at 4 Sunrise Senior Living Homes as part of a University of Exeter trial into the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation as a care service. The presentation will demonstrate how therapeutic techniques can be used to enable people with dementia to improve in every day function and describe the impact on the service, residents and their families.
12.45pm – 1.15pm: Human Rights and Wrongs
Ed Watkinson, Director of Care Quality, Quality Compliance Systems Ltd
In this talk, Ed will explore the thinking behind the Human Rights agenda. He will look at how the CQC have adapted the principles and integrated them into inspections to help develop a wider, more holistic, view of the service. In addition, he will share practical ideas to help you embed equality, respect and dignity into all aspects of the service which will put you in stronger position when managing your relationship with the regulator.
