Design and Technology Suite

When our social worker visited the other day he mentioned the Iris Murdich building at Stirling University. He suggested it would be a good place to look round for ideas regarding assistive technology-

I'm hoping to have a look round next month.

I've been there, Izzy, and it's well worth having a look. Prof June Andrews showed us round herself, and she's such a positive person. My tag line comes from her.

I went when we were designing our new dementia hospital, and it was well worth-while. Particularly useful for designing hospitals and care homes, but lots of little tricks that would help in the home.

I'd certainly recommend a visit to anyone who can manage it. There's a huge library, too. I think she said we could send for books, but I may be wrong on that.

Thanks Hazel. It seems it's very easy to arrange a visit and they let you go round by yourself if you are not on an official tour. They also have helpful leaflets. We're to be staying in my brother's house in Glasgow in October while they are in Poland. I think we'll go then.
