We had 28 members this evening. Lisa welcomed everyone and also Mike Rich CEO of Barnet Carers. Our meeting started with some introductions from members and various discussions. The first half hour of the meeting is open for all carers to raise any concerns.

Andrew then presented his seminar and his talk today was about ‘Dignified Personal care’. Andrew talked through the slides and also showed us a short video about how to hold someone’s hand and make them feel calm and safe. Andrew’s presentation slides are attached. This was followed by a discussion with questions and answers.

Please also see below other suggestions discussed by members below.
