Thank you to everyone who engaged with the presentation and poster! A lot of insightful conversations and some great ideas and collaborations on taking this work forward. I always come away with new plans, ideas and a renewed level of energy to ensure this work is completed and all people with dementia obtain appropriate support and this includes those in prison.

Winston Churchill Fellow 2018

Great news! I am delighted to have been awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Travel Fellowship grant, which is a great honour to become a Winston Churchill Fellow 2018. The fellowship will enable me to travel to New Zealand, Australia and the United States of America to explore the issue of culturally diverse prison populations and how prisoners with cognitive impairment or dementia are cared for and supported. I will be visiting a number of prominent prisons in each country, which have implemented initiatives to support both a culturally diverse prison population and those with cognitive impairment or dementia. This will include talking to prison, health and social care professionals as well as prisoners, and will provide examples and information to inform initiatives to support prisoners in England and Wales.  Please see below link for other nurses taking up this amazing opportunity: https://www.wcmt.org.uk/fellows/news/full-list-2018-churchill-fellows Scroll down to Nursi...
