How to effectively communicate with a person with dementia
During this 5-Minute Wellbeing video, Jane Nickels, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK takes us through the basics of how best to communicate with someone who has dementia. Jane explains some of the barriers that may be present and how these can be overcome.
Understanding Alzheimer's disease
Jane Nickels, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK discusses dementia with a focus on Alzheimer’s, the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer’s causes a gradual decline in memory, thinking, behaviour, and social skills, affecting a person’s ability to function. Though dementia mostly affects older adults, it is not a part of normal aging.
We take a look at the early signs of the disease, its impact on individuals and their families’ lives, the help and support available, whether some symptoms can be delayed or avoided, and who is more prone to getting it.
Tips for enhancing thyroid health
Learn what the thyroid is and the different types of disease that can affect it, the relationship between the thyroid and the rest of the body and even how relaxation can have a positive impact. Led by Jules Chandler, Founder, The Thyroid Collective.
Thyroid health
The thyroid and brain work synergistically, balancing and producing hormones to keep your body going. However, the thyroid is in a constant state of flux. Our environment — from stress and diet to genetics and underlying medical conditions — can affect how it functions.

How to become news-resilient
Most of us can relate to this: we get into bed at night to scroll through our phones and see what is happening on social media and the internet. We may think this routine helps us unwind, connects with others, distracts us, helps us catch up on the news or lets us see what the people we follow are up to. Little do we realise that this self-destructive night time activity, called doomscrolling, can become a compulsive habit that affects our health. If you’re guilty of doomscrolling, this session will help you get this habit under control.
