| Annotation | Patients with dementia at Ysbyty'r Tri Chwm - a community mental health facility for older people with mental health problems - have been participating in a project developed by the Blaenau Gwent Arts Development Team. The author evaluates the work of this South Wales partnership, which involves using reminiscence, drama and music. A case study of a retired general practitioner (GP) with Pick's disease (frontotemporal dementia) describes how he and his wife developed their interest in spinning and weaving to create wall hangings and rugs.
