| Annotation | This paper reviews the use of a poem written by a care assistant as part of a dementia awareness course. The poem's author went on to use the poem to help staff within the care home to gain insight and promote reflection and discussion about caring for the person living with dementia as part of a training programme. An evaluation of its use was also undertaken, and staff reported that this poem was thought-provoking, insightful, and had helped them to reflect on how they work with people living with dementia. The poem, 'I must do the post', by Terence C Tolputt is included. (RH). |
