Thanks everyone for a great (and busy) TMP week!

Seana has been at BW doing individual interviews and a ‘day in the life’ of on Wednesday. She also ran a story telling session for residents which featured on the daily whiteboard and was really well received. Helen arrived to take over the ‘day in the life of’ at 3.30 and stayed around to visit residents in their room with a care worker  making them tea etc and then helping to host a games night in the lounge – loads of really interesting data to write up from these experiences,  I was given a rose and met some wonderful new residents there.

Tim and Seana also ran a session on music at BW on Tuesday morning and Tim, Seana and Helen at Stokeleigh on Tuesday afternoon – the Stokeleigh session was particularly inspiring for me as it was very much led by the residents who shared their favourite tracks which we all listened to and then discussed. Thanks Tim for leading that session so wonderfully!

Pete, Ki and Heidi hosted a trip to the engineering department for Bob from Stokeleigh Lodge. He loved the danish pastries and free pens and came back to Stokeleigh totally buzzing!

Helen also delivered a presentation about the project as part of an ‘ethics’ day at the Graduate School of Education – lots of comments and conversations about how ‘inspirational’ the project is from audience members.

Ki and Helen also met about the website and will be feeding back decisions made (based on our conversations at the Bitmap meeting) to Bitmap – so hopefully we’ll have a website up and running pretty soon.

Phew…
