In the last 20 years within the NHS, many have found traditional dementia training inadequate. Research highlights the limited impact of classroom-based training on staff practices and the lives of those with dementia. At Re-Live, a new pilot program is set to challenge these norms. This innovative approach draws from evidence suggesting that influencing attitudes about dementia requires more than just information - it involves experience, emotion, and identity. Join us as we explore methods that truly resonate and improve care for those living with dementia.

"In over 20 years of working in the NHS, this is the first time I've actually experienced how it might feel to have dementia” Care Home Inspector, NHS North West, 2012
Nick Andrews Research and Practice Development OfficerAll Wales Academic Social Care Research Collaboration (ASCC). “Research and practice evidence suggests that traditional class room based dementia awareness training programmes have in general, had limited impact on the working practice of staff and the lives of people living with dementia (Sheard, 2008). The approach that Re-Live are intending to pilot is not only innovative, but is also supported by a growing body of research evidence which suggests that ‘information telling’ approaches, emphasising careful, rational argument to communicate a prior analysis are flawed, and that ‘’changing minds’ is an infinitely more subtle process of influencing – drawing in experience, emotion, aesthetics and appeals to identity’ (Davies and Powell, 2010, p1)”
