How to Begin Building a Dementia Unit That Actually Works
Pat walks through the first steps leaders can take to move from reactive systems to something more person-led, from adjusting staffing models to changing how risk is approached. Drawing from the “utopia” units she’s helped build, she offers grounded guidance for organisations ready to do more than meet minimum standards.
Managing the “Unmanageable”: Inside Complex Case Consultancy
Pat gets called in when no one else knows what to do: dementia cases with additional layers like autism, mental health needs, or legal risk. She shares what it takes to resolve these challenges and what systems often miss when trying to care for people who don’t fit the norm.
