As part of HEE’s work to deliver the requirements of the Prime Ministers Challenge on Dementia 2020, we commissioned a training resource for health and social care providers that focuses on the specific needs of the African Caribbean community. I am very pleased to let you know that ‘Finding Patience’ is now available on the HEE website https://www.hee.nhs.uk/our-work/person-centred-care/dementia/dementia-african-caribbean-community and on ‘You Tube’ Finding Patience.
This ‘awareness raising’ film is designed to help health and social care staff recognise the importance of the cultural heritage of individuals living with dementia and that such understanding enables high quality, safe, person centred care.
