SUMMARY:Introduction to Namaste Care - December workshop
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on Tuesday 9th December 2025 from 1pm-4pm\, this introductory course will be held at St Clare Hospice in Hastingwood. It is intended for anyone who supports someone who is living with advanced dementia\, across West Essex and East Hertfordshire.  \nThe ‘Introduction to Namaste Care’ workshop aims to train and empower both unpaid carers and paid care staff to deliver high-quality\, compassionate care to local people living with advanced dementia. \nWhat is Namaste Care? \n‘Namaste Care’ is an internationally-recognised care programme which teaches you to use simple activities that include sensory stimulation of our five senses (touch\, hearing\, sight\, smell and taste) to help people with dementia connect and engage with others. The word ‘Namaste’ is a Hindi greeting that means to ‘honour the spirit within\,’ and is the guiding principle of Namaste Care. Multi-sensory activities can involve music\, food and drink and can also include therapeutic touch and massage. These basic principles are simple to learn and easy to put into practice when caring for someone with dementia. \nFollowing on from this introductory course\, attendees will be invited to join a Namaste Network Group\, where they will be able to share best practice\, successes and learning points from putting Namaste care into practice within the caring work environment. \n\nBook your place today\nThis face-to-face workshop is free to attend\, but booking is essential to secure a place.  \nFor information and to book\, please call Joanne Morrison\, Dementia Support Service Coordinator on 07534 031702 or email dementia@stclarehospice.org.uk \n\n\nAlzheimer’s Society ‘Working to Become Dementia Friendly’ Accreditation\nIn January 2024\, St Clare Hospice were recognised by the Alzheimer’s Society and awarded ‘Working to Become Dementia Friendly’ accreditation\, as a result of our commitment to improving the experience of people living with dementia\, their families and carers.
