NEW OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ZONE AT CARE SHOW BOURNEMOUTH

Care Show Bournemouth, the UK’s biggest event dedicated to care homes and the care of older people, has once again come up trumps with a number of new features guaranteed to keep visitors busy with plenty of new ideas and innovations. Running alongside the exhibitors, Seminar Theatre, Dementia Care Theatre, Fitness Focus, Gardening for Therapy and Sensory Zone, is the new Occupational Therapy Zone.

 The Occupational Therapy Zone gives the opportunity for care home owners and operators to take an in depth look at how and to what extent occupational therapy is used with their residents.  By inviting key speakers involved with the care of older people in a variety of fields, it is intended to demonstrate ways of broadening up occupational therapy programmes to increase wellbeing and enhance lifestyle.

The two-day programme will include demonstrations and talks from a number of specialists: Silvie Silver, Strategic Director of NAPA will take a fresh look at ‘Activities in residential care’ and new ideas on the ‘Importance of posture and pressure management’ will be presented by Mark Fowles, Healthcare Director of Kirton Healthcare. Sue Robathan, Local Director of Music for Health will run a participatory workshop to explore musical involvement to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of people in care and Sonja Waara-Conway, Managing Director of Nordic Care Services Ltd. will look at ‘Cost effective turning solutions in bed’. The importance of ‘Exercise for Dementia’ will be discussed by Mark Jones, Director of Liverpool PCT.
