In This Episode
Christy chats with Dr. Jane M. Mullins, who shares her research on the magic created by multisensory holiday reminiscence in people living with dementia and their care partners.
Dr. Jane M. Mullins is a dementia nurse consultant who has devoted over 25 years to the study and practice of dementia care. Through listening to and supporting people and their families during their diagnosis in memory clinics, caring for them in hospital and in care homes, she has helped throughout all of the stages of their condition. Jane has uncovered certain common features that may help caregivers and the people they care for find better ways of coping. Her practice experience is backed up by expert knowledge gained from keeping up to date with research with people who have dementia and their caregivers. This includes her Ph.D. which explores multisensory ways of communication and how to stay connected with loved ones living with dementia. She is currently a part time nurse lecturer at Cardiff University.
