Ipswich Hospital Talk

Peter and I delivered another talk at Ipswich Hospital for the Older Person's Team training day. We did a talk there a while ago but it's fascinating to see how Peter adapts his basic narrative to fit his current circumstances.

It's always a privilege to listen to Peter talk and to have that peek into what is going on his his mind. Yes, I can see the changes and sometimes details are omitted from his talk but, to take their place, other details emerge. However, his fluency remains and his warmth and engaging manner always pull the audience in.

His closing words today were: "today I am standing up here telling you about my lived experience with dementia but, tomorrow or at any time in the future, it could be any one of you."
