About this Event

Welcome to the Meaningful Interaction in Dementia Care event! This event is co-organised and hosted by St Chads Sunshine Cafe at St Chads Church 41, Hollyfield Road, Sutton Coldfield West Midlands B75 7SN and it is part funded by Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Council.

Join us for a day filled with insightful discussions, best practice in dementia care and networking opportunities focused on enhancing the quality of care for individuals with a dementia.

Our event is for people who live and work in and around Sutton Coldfield and will take place on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at 9:30 AM at St Chads Church Hall, 41 Hollyfield Road, Sutton Coldfield. This is a great opportunity for care partners, healthcare professionals, and anyone supporting or caring for a person who is living with a diagnosis of a dementia to come together and learn from one another and from an expert in the field.

The day will be led by David Wilson-Wynne (MSc in Dementia Studies), Senior Dementia Consultant at the University of Stirling's internationally renowned Dementia Services Development Centre. We will explore how person-led, meaningful interaction can enhance the wellbeing of people living with a dementia and their care partners
