An Update On Managing Dementia In A Care Home – 3rd September 2025, 14:30 to 15:30.

With Kate Smith and Dr Stephen Pearson.

Live Virtual event in Zoom.

Suitable for: Care home staff and domiciliary carers.

In this online event Kate Smith from Memory Matters (Plymouth) and Dr Stephen Pearson, Consultant in Older Adult Psychiatry, will do a joint presentation on strategies that can be used to help manage behavioural disturbance in patients with dementia in care home settings. This will be equally beneficial for people working in Domiciliary Care.

This will include a short presentation to see challenging behaviours as vital communication, and gain practical strategies to identify unmet needs and provide more empathetic, effective care.

There will also be a short overview of some of the medications that are used in these situations and side effects to look out for.

Questions will be welcomed at the end of the presentation and time will be allowed for this.
