11.30am – 12pm: What’s on your playlist? How personal music helps Dementia
Paula Bain, Playlist for Life
We all have a soundtrack to our life. Finding personally meaningful music brings many benefits to the person living with dementia and their carer. This seminar will provide simple ‘Music Detective’ skills to get started making and using a playlist. It will enable a greater understanding of the power of personal music and its benefits, and how it can be used as a powerful tool in dementia care.
12.45pm – 1.15pm: Creating Connections in Advanced Dementia through Adaptive Interaction
Dr Maggie Ellis, Lecturer in Psychology, University of St Andrews
People with advanced dementia may eventually lose the ability to speak or understand the speech of others. This presents a huge challenge in terms of maintaining existing and developing new relationships. Adaptive Interaction (AI) was developed to identify and utilise the non-verbal ‘language’ of individuals with advanced dementia and has a growing evidence base. This seminar will describe AI, the evidence base and will present video evidence of its impact.
2.00pm – 2.30pm: Seminar from Care Inspectorate
