You may remember that I have recently become a Dignity in Care Champion. Yesterday was Dignity Action Day and I attended a dignity champion’s afternoon with other professionals to discuss ways in which we can improve and raise awareness regarding the dignity of the elderly population. Among the group were solicitors, financial advisors, care home managers and owners and representatives from GP surgeries. It was extremely interesting and also heartbreaking to hear and share stories where older people’s needs are not met or just missed as they have no-one to care for them or they are vulnerable in the community, hospital or care home. I look forward to working with everyone in the future to try to explore ways to improve the care and dignity of older people across all sectors.
