Hear DEEP Thinkers on the radio ‘The CAT’ on the 10th February 2020- from about 9.00 minutes in…
‘The sooner you get it all out there and get on with it and everybody is on board.’
‘I think the earlier you get on to this you get more positivity out of it. If you had a stayed at home watching television not doing anybody any good’
‘What crops up at all the meetings is who coordinates? DEEP nationally are doing what they can.’
‘I am totally committed to DEEP. those words are so important ‘Engagement’ and ‘Empowerment”.
They talk about doing a signage audit.
They have also created a leaflet to be distributed to all GPs and hospitals. ‘This document is full of so much detail’
‘We definitely think that taking part in these meetings has given us a much more positive attitude’
‘We want more people living with dementia to join us’
‘The one thing when you go in to a place – you can be as quiet as a lamb and then something happens and the light turns on’ Bill
‘It’s not enough to meet once a month, every fortnight would be good’
‘Strength is in numbers’
My message is we need help…. not just someone who bangs a drum and then walks off after 15 minutes’
