Bluebird Care Peterborough & Oundle is committed to continually developing its team’s knowledge and skills to ensure customers receive the very best care and support.
As part of this commitment, the team recently welcomed a nurse from Rutland County Council Admiral Nurse service, to one of its team meetings to share her expertise and provide valuable insights into supporting people living with dementia and their families.
Admiral Nurses are specialist dementia nurses who offer expert guidance, practical advice, and emotional support to families affected by dementia. They work closely with carers, healthcare professionals, and organisations to improve understanding of dementia and help people navigate the challenges that can come with the condition.
During the session, the Admiral nurse was able to share her knowledge with Bluebird Care Peterborough & Oundle's care professionals, helping them gain a deeper understanding of dementia and providing practical strategies to support customers in their day-to-day lives.
The Admiral nurse shared : “It was a pleasure to meet the Bluebird Care Peterborough & Oundle team and share knowledge about dementia care. Care professionals play a vital role in supporting people to remain independent and live well at home, and opportunities like this help ensure they feel confident and equipped to provide the best possible support. By working together and sharing expertise, we can make a real difference to the lives of people living with dementia and their families.”
For Bluebird Care Peterborough & Oundle, building relationships with local specialists such as Admiral Nurses is an important part of ensuring customers receive holistic, person-centred care.
Leisa MacKenzie, Director of Bluebird Care Peterborough & Oundle, said: “We are always looking for opportunities to learn and develop as a team. Dementia affects so many individuals and families within our communities and having access to the expertise and support of professionals like the Admiral nurse service is incredibly valuable.”
She continued: “Our care teams are passionate about delivering the highest standards of care, and sessions like this help us continue to grow our knowledge and confidence so we can provide the best possible support to our customers.”
Bluebird Care would like to thank the Admiral nurse service for taking the time to meet with the team and share her expertise, helping to strengthen the support available to customers across Rutland.
This service is funded by Rutland County Council. To access the support from the service either the main carer or person living with dementia must live in Rutland.
