Dear Southbourne!

Dare I say‌ At the time of this writing the weather has been really good! We had a great weekend away with the Cubs and Scouts camping. Having recently bought a converted van, this was an ideal opportunity. The van is used to transport all the magazines each month, but at the weekend the little fridge and cooker come into their own. I have to say I love it! Waking up in the middle of a field, not literally of course, and seeing the sun rising was really quite liberating! Hayden went climbing, abseiling, jumping up and down on trampolines, making fires and cooking apples, shooting at targets and generally having a whale of a time. I was never a girl guide myself and I have to say I think I missed out! If you have any Girl Guide or Scouting stories and photos, do send them to us and we will print them for you. Nothing like bringing good old memories back!

This month inside The Southbourne Link you will find all of our local trades and business people who would love to hear from you. Do use the index to find what you are looking for. There are many events coming up too, with an interesting one about energy costs on May 30th. With rising energy prices this is one to attend! There is also the Bournemouth Family Adventure Festival and the Dorset Baby and Child Show! The prize wordsearch offers tickets to see Carnaby Street, which looks very exciting! Don’t forget if you have a club or society in Southbourne, we would love to promote you. This is free. If you have a business in the area, please give me a call and we can help you get more business.

Have a great month of May!

Better care for patients with dementia “ONE gentleman was very vocal, and we discovered he liked to sing. We bought CDs of his favourite music - Frank Sinatra and swing - and he would sing to his heart’s content. He didn’t have a bad voice either...”

The use of music is just one initiative helping older patients to cope with what can be a challenging and confusing experience.

Dr Sue Hazel is the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch hospital’s lead consultant in dementia care, the implementation lead for the National Dementia Strategy within the two hospitals.

Sue says this strategy has been the catalyst for a range of change across the two hospitals, as well as at Poole Hospital, and has helped to create a new era of progressive and patientcentred care.

“We already work closely with our colleagues at Poole and the merger will give us an even more unified front,” said Sue. “We will have a greater impact in areas like ward environments, staff training and community involvement.”

At Poole Hospital, consultant geriatrician Dr Premila Fade highlights the flagship Lulworth ward, where changes to the ward environment have been used to support dementia patients.

“We improved the layout, colours and lighting to make the ward more welcoming,” said Premila. “A hospital visit can be very confusing for patients

Dr Sue Hazel working with colleagues with dementia, and anything we can do to make the environment easier helps.

“Since Lulworth was refurbished we’ve been able to use the principles on other wards too.”

Memory clinics for older and frailer patients, specially trained dementia ‘champions’, volunteer mealtime companions, unique patient ‘life diaries’ to help a patient’s stay that much more individual and comforting - all these initiatives and more form part of the award-winning and innovative work in place at all three hospitals.

• Poole’s dementia carers played a key role in developing the hospital-wide Human Touch campaign, with 10 golden rules advising all staff how best to ensure that patients’ privacy and dignity is respected.

• As well as the Dementia Care Pathway guidelines, Bournemouth also has its own ‘top tips’ for nurses around carrying out personal care, nutrition and bedtime among others.

• Volunteer mealtime companions at both trusts – as well as brightly-coloured cutlery and crockery – help encourage patients to keep up their food intake as well as create a friendly mealtime experience.

Environment matters: Poole Hospital’s Lulworth Ward has been redesigned to benefit patients with dementia

How to choose the right home care provider...

Deciding to ask people to come into your home to care for you or a loved-one can seem daunting.

However, there are a few straightforward questions you can ask to help decide on a care provider.

Ask how carers are recruited and trained. Carers should all be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service Check (formerly known as a CRB check) to see if they have a criminal record. Carers should also have been trained in moving and handling, to protect both their clients and themselves, and in first aid. Many will also have been trained in food hygiene. It is worth asking the company if they give this training. If carers do not hold a QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework – previously the NVQ) award in Health and Social Care, then a good provider will have enrolled them on a course.

Offering professional development opportunities grows a motivated, quality team of carers.

You should check how the calls will be scheduled.

Will you get care at a time convenient for the care provider’s existing schedules or will it be given when you need it? So, if you want to go to bed after

watching TV in the evening, that is when the carer should come, not sometime in the late afternoon.

Providing care to people in their own home is an particularly rewarding activity. Right at Home (Bournemouth) is fortunate to have recruited fifteen incredibly dedicated carers. That such a relatively new company has enough work to employ this number of staff is testament to reputation they have established in a short time. Please give us a call if you want to chat about the options available to you. You can reach us on 0800 298 1139 or 01202 280855.

P ro d u c e r C a r l L e i g hto n - Po p e states: “I’m incredibly excited and looking forward to see this strong cast in rehearsals. Although we’re disappointed that Sid has decided to remain in California, we’re

extremely happy to welcome Aaron and Matthew to Carnaby Street.”
