We are absolutely delighted make the list of finalists in the Dementia Care Team category of the UK Dementia Awards.
The Awards were open to dementia organisations across the UK, and nominees were asked to demonstrate:
- clear sustained commitment to person-centred care across the whole team
- evidence of collaborative practice that enhances dignity, independence and quality of life
- innovative approaches to communication, engagement, meaningful activity, or daily living support
- testimonials from people living with dementia, families, or colleagues demonstrating impact
- strong examples of going above and beyond established practice
Peter Johnson, Head of Service for Dementia Oxfordshire commented:
“I am delighted that the service has been shortlisted for the UK Dementia Awards. This recognition reflects the commitment the team shows every day in delivering person centred support for both people living with dementia, and their families.
“We work closely with people with dementia and their carers through out ‘experts by experience’ group; this helps shape the service, especially our information sessions and dementia guides, ensuring the support we offer is relevant and useful and helping us support families to live better with dementia.
“I’m very proud of the team and and it’s wonderful to see their efforts acknowledged nationally —there is some tough competition in our category and we’re keeping our fingers crossed until the award ceremony at the end of April!”
