Let's Respect Again

Dementia, Depression and Delirium. The 3 D's

The Let's Respect (Let’s respond to every challenge therapeutically) campaign was launched back in 2006 by the national older peoples' mental health programme to provide much needed educational resources to help raise awareness, knowledge and understanding in the acute general hospital environment of older peoples' mental health needs.

Following the launch the toolkits were distributed initially to every acute general hospital in England, but awareness of the resources soon meant copies of the toolkit were winging their way to all corners of The Globe. 

In addition to the printed materials, I had the great pleasure of being involved in producing a number of podcasts and videos featuring older people, clinicians and educators who shared their expertise in the 3 D's.

I'm delighted to see that through the vision and determination of Nadine Schofield, Let's Respect Again has been launched with many of the resources now made available once more, including the said videos http://letsrespect.co.uk/podcasts/ and I'm honoured to have been asked to act as an advisor to this community interest company.

We hear the mantra repeated so often about not reinventing wheels, so hats off to Nadine and very best of luck in taking this valuable work forwards once more!
