Well done to all of you for your professional conduct and for engaging so well with service users at the dementia café.  You did NHC very proud!!!! 

Your feedback was encouraging and this clearly developed your empathy for dementia sufferers and their carers.  Feedback from people at the café was also very reassuring, as they felt very supported by you all and enjoyed having young students come in and spend time with them

Also great news that you all became dementia friends. Now we can raise awareness of dementia and be dementia friendly when out and about :-)

It felt like a “wow” moment, because it was my first going on the London eye and I never thought I would see a view like this. It was pretty scary.
