Take a Breath in the Great Outdoors with Step Change Design and Dementia Adventure
The science tells us that getting outside is good for us, and in particular for people living with dementia, yet this doesn’t always feel easy. Gordon Malcom, Dementia Adventure, and Debbie Carroll, Step Change Design, come together to share how to overcome the often subtle barriers to getting outside so you can reap the rewards of enjoying nature and your gardens more.
Speakers: Gordon Malcom, Dementia Adventure – Programme Leader and Debbie Carroll, Step Change Design – Director

Can lie-telling be used to support personhood?
Lie-telling is an emotional subject that tends to evoke strong feelings. Yet people tell lies every day, both consciously and unconsciously. In this webinar, Dr Jane Murray will challenge current viewpoints and advocate that lie telling is an important social lubricant that can be a very useful tool for sustaining relationships and supporting personhood in people with moderate to severe dementia. She will share some of the results from her groundbreaking ethnography and question why the truth of carers should be prioritised over that of the person with dementia.
Speaker: Dr Jane Murray – Assistant Professor, Northumbria University
