You may have read about Lewy body dementia in the news recently following the sad passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.

If you don’t know what Lewy body dementia is, you’re not alone. Here’s what you need to know.

Dementia is caused by different diseases that affect the brain. Lewy body dementia is caused by Lewy body disease. About 1 in 10 people with dementia has Lewy body dementia.

In this disease, tiny clumps of proteins known as Lewy bodies appear in the nerve cells of the brain, causing a range of symptoms, some of which are shared by Alzheimer’s disease and some by Parkinson’s disease.

For this reason, dementia with Lewy bodies is often wrongly diagnosed.

Everyone experiences dementia differently. Both Lewy body dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can cause problems with staying focused, difficulties with making decisions, memory loss, and problems with the way the person sees things around them.

However, Lewy body dementia also causes symptoms that are not usually seen in Alzheimer's disease. These include hallucinations, problems staying fully awake, difficulties with movement and very disturbed sleep.

We have more information about Lewy body dementia on our website.

And if you’re worried about yourself or someone else, give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

FEEDBACK FRIDAY!! 🎉

It’s been another fantastic week at Winnovation, with lots of achievements, qualifications completed and exciting career developments to celebrate!

🌟 Erica Baker achieved a Distinction in her Level 5 Residential Manager Apprenticeship and is absolutely over the moon!

Alongside completing her qualification, Erica was also promoted to Deputy Manager… a fantastic achievement and well-deserved recognition of her hard work.

👏 Sarah-Anne Burgess from Ashdown Care achieved her Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care.

👏 Eunice Ozue and Excel Isiekwene from Coquet Trust both achieved their Level 3 Diplomas in Adult Care. Congratulations to you both!

🌟 Skye Bambro from Eothen Homes, Gosforth, achieved her Level 3 Diploma with an overall Distinction in her End-Point Assessment (EPA). Amazing work, Skye!

And finally, we’re celebrating Bridie, who enrolled onto our Level 3 Early Years Educator course to further her career in the early years sector.

Initially, balancing study, work and family life felt like a challenge. However, through determination and excellent organisation, Bridie found her rhythm, grew in confidence and successfully completed her qualification in just nine months, rather than the expected 21! During this time, she also secured a permanent position within her setting.

Bridie shared:

“I’ve learnt more about child development, the EYFS and supporting children’s individual needs. I’ve grown in confidence and developed my skills in planning activities, observing development and supporting children’s communication, independence and emotions.”

A huge well done to everyone! Your hard work, commitment and determination deserve to be celebrated. We’re so proud to be part of your journeys! 💜

🎂 A special mention to Peter, who will be celebrating his birthday this weekend and Hollie, who celebrates next week! We hope you both have a lovely birthday! 🥳

And finally… Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃
👻 Have a spooktacular weekend!

I start the week by catching up with my learners, positive encouragement and reminders about upcoming meetings and deadlines. I also spend time with Bev and Paula, who have been a massive help as I continue to develop my tutoring skills.

When meeting with my learners, I always make time for an informal chat to find out how they're doing and get to know them before moving on to teaching, learning and offering guidance.
