In October I had my own table at an NHS event for the first time: the Falls Prevention and Management Conference at Littleton Memorial Hall near Winchester, run by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
The room was full of care home managers, nurses and carers from across Mid and North Hampshire. These are the people who are there for residents and families at the moments that matter most, so getting to tell them about Everseed was really special.
The talks were brilliant too, covering everything from bladder and bowel care and older people’s mental health to staying strong and steady on your feet. I had to dash off before the end, but not before the sweet basket on my table was looking very empty.
The response was incredible, and one care home booked some Christmas filming with me before the morning was out.
Thank you to the Enhanced Health in Care Homes therapy team for inviting me, and to everyone who stopped by for a chat.
If you work in a care home and you’d like to talk about life story films for the people you look after, I’d love to hear from you.
