    In times of transitions and change it can be easy to focus on tasks and processes. Sometimes we can forget about how this can affect the individual and the people around them.

    This also includes work relationships which may have been formed over a long period of time.

    In this resource you will follow the story of Irene Wilson. Irene is living with a diagnosis of dementia and due to changing needs, is moving from her own home to a care home.

    These short episodes capture important moments in her journey and how they impact on those around her. Please remember this is only Irene's journey and everyone will experience things differently.

    Please note that all people, places, services etc referred to in this resource are entirely fictional and the product of the imaginations of the authors and subject matter experts. Any similarity to people/places/services you know is entirely accidental.
