North Dementia Forum

twelve hints leaflet picture

The North Dementia Forum is a collaboration between professionals and carers in North Glasgow, working to improve the quality of life for people with dementia, and their carers. We have been involved with the Forum from the beginning and our manager, Nicky Thomson, is a member of its executive committee.

The Forum has produced an award-winning film, “Changed Days”(2011), which highlights the implications of dementia for those who have the illness and their carers. This film’s message is very relevant to those involved with health and care provision. It can show us all how we can help those suffering from this illness, and support their carers.

You can download the User Notes to accompany the film (PDF 4.9MiB)

In 2008 Nicky created a wallet-sized leaflet – “Communicating with someone who has dementia: 12 helpful hints”. This has since been widely distributed across the NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde area.

A copy of the “12 helpfull hints” leaflet can be downloaded as a PDF file (145KiB). There are 2 versions of the leaflet: North Glasgow specific and Scotland-wide.

An A3 posterversion is also available (PDF 377KiB).

If you would like a DVD of the film, or print copies of any of the leaflets or poster mentioned here, please contact Annemarie at Good Morning Project Ltd.
