1. Expert Q&A: Living well as a carer - Thurs 29 August, 3-4pm

    As a carer for a person living with dementia, the needs of the person you care for will often come before your own. You may experience a range of difficult emotions and you may not have the time to do all the things you need to do. Caring can have a big impact on both your mental and physical health, as well as your overall wellbeing.

    Angelo, our Knowledge Officer (Wellbeing) is our expert on this topic. He will be here to answer your questions on Thursday 29 August between 3-4pm.

    You can either post questions >here< or email them to us at talkingpoint@alzheimers.org.uk and we'll answer as many as we can on the day.

    Finance out of hospital

    If you Google "finance out of hospital" you will get many references.

    I know another one but I am not going to post it as I would be banned for life!!!

    EDIT
    Include the quotes to force Google to search for the string.

    This is awesome. What about F.A.S.T.? This is the test done to check if someone may have had a stroke. Face, Arms, Slurred (speech), Time (to call 999). Can be searched for on the Internet.

    I'm not on Talking Point much these days but dropped in just now and spotted CDN in a thread title, helpfully defined in the first post: Community Dementia Nurse. Now added. And corrected CVA and LBD in response to a message a few days ago. Always happy to have suggestions for additions or corrections, and just delighted to know that people are still finding it useful.

    Except on TP, where it often refers to Bowel Movement! [emoji15]
