Let's Talk about Sex...uality and Dementia

Sexuality as defined by the World Health Organisation should be afforded to all adults; therefore people should not be discriminated against because of their age, condition or care need is.

The taboo of sexuality and ageing is challenging enough without considering what this may come to mean for someone living with dementia, for care workers and for care providers.
Through this event, we want to bring people from across the care and support sector together to discuss some of the key issues and to ensure that a holistic, person centred approach to carefully encompasses a person’s sexuality as an integral part of self.
This event, hosted by Scottish Care in conjunction with partner organisations, will also see the launch of our latest Care Cameo which will focus on the theme of sexuality and dementia. There will be an opportunity throughout the day to hear from a range of speakers and to contribute to this important emerging issue.

The 4 R’s: Exploring recruitment, retention, regulation and representation in the Scottish Social Care Sector
2018-03-15 10:00 - 15:30 | Hilton Hotel, 1 William Street, Glasgow, G3 8HT, United Kingdom
Throughout 2017, recruitment and retention challenges have intensified for care homes and care at home organisations throughout Scotland. With the demand for adult social services increasing – how can providers best achieve the requirements of the new National Health and Care Standards, meet regulatory and registration qualification requirements and attract and retain a dedicated, compassionate workforce?
This is a practical workshop designed for owners, managers and supervisors working in care homes and care at home organisations, as well as front line workers. Attendees will learn about new national developments relating to ‘The Four R’s’ and the latest Scottish Care report will be launched.
A full programme of the day can be found here.
