This book provides easy, engaging, and practical content for things to consider and conversations to have so as to be able to provide the best care and support on a basis of sound understanding from everyone involved.

Autorenporträt

I have worked within Health and Social care for the past 25 years and within this time I have been committed to improving the experiences of those accessing the care and support they need, and this has involved working alongside people living with dementia and their families. Within this time, I have trained in and delivered Person Centred Planning and Support Brokerage which are both approaches to enable people to direct their own care and support in a manner that is rooted in community rather than services. My work and passion led me to setting up Imagineer Development UK CIC in 2010, a social enterprise based in the North of England with a national reach which specialise in Self-Direction.
