NOT EVERY OLDER PERSON WANTS TO SIT IN A ROOM WITH A BEACH MURAL SINGING WAR SONGS.
People who turn 75 this year were 30 years old in 1975...Bee Gees, Bowie, Eagles, Earth Wind & Fire. Maybe some Hard Metal. Won’t know unless we ask.
I put my arm around a lovely patient to support them into standing for the first time & they said it was the closest they’d come to a hug since the start of Covid 🥺
So we sat in the chair, drank tea, held hands & talked about dogs because that is #physiotherapy at its finest 🐾
In amongst the awful state of the world, I want to provide a little post of happiness.
I am thrilled that the incredibly talented @iaindwelch has agreed to illustrate my children’s book about dementia.
I am so excited to introduce to you, Big Bear & Little Bear 🐾
I am so thrilled so share that Big Bear, Little Bear & Dementia, illustrated by the wonderful @iaindwelch, is finally here!!
You can get your paws on a copy of this super inclusive & heart warming book for delivery in early November at bigbearlittlebearbook.com 🐾
I’m very touched that people are recommending my children’s book, Big Bear, Little Bear and #Dementia, but I’m aware that not everyone can afford to buy it.
Would anyone be interested in a virtual reading of it one evening around bedtime? 📚 🐻

#Medtwitter- Need your help!
We need a more supportive phrase than ‘failed discharge’ in frailty.
Doesn’t seem right to put such a negative spin on things not going to plan when the team worked hard with the patient to take positive risks & support wishes to go home.
Any ideas?
Sorry if I’ve missed this, but is there any transparency from the HCPC in sharing the ways that you have identified areas to reduce your costs, before passing this onto us?
Today was the first time I made it to the 3rd floor of the hospital using the stairs after being off with #covid in early November. That is terrifying.
It is so real. Stay safe ❤️
I propose that on July 25th 2021, we hold a nationwide Christmas, with Monday 26th an extra bank holiday.
We can be outside, we can be safe and we can be together again.
Christmas in summer, as a nation, would be amazing. And give us all something to look forward to 🎄☀️
I am ever so excited to share some very wonderful news…
Big Bear, Little Bear & Dementia, illustrated by @iaindwelch, is now the proud owner of an ISBN. This means it can be distributed through schools, bookshops & libraries!!
