  • Pocket Ideas
    Pocket ideas A moment in time Award-winning project Pocket ideas – A moment in time ‘Pocket ideas’ won ‘Best Acute Care Initiative’ at the Scottish Dementia Awards in 2014. It is a pocket tool designed with the intention that any member of staff in contact with older people could use the prepared prompts to begin a conversation. Activities are divided into five sections: communication, games, physical activity, music and culture and wellbeing. You can choose from pictures, inspirational quotes, simple questions and activities to stimulate discussion. These ideas can be used with an individual or in a group. No preparation is needed, and even five minutes with an older person can enhance their quality of life. Our Activity Team wanted to develop this tool, not just to begin a conversation, but to think about having a meaningful moment in time. How we approach people matters, and how we help people engage in purposeful activity is important. Every moment we have to offer older people in a meaningful experience is valuable, and essential in our professional practice. It promotes increased self- esteem, reduces risk of low mood, and empowers people to achieve their own person-centred goals. Andrea Boyd Occupational Therapist Communication “The biggest failure you can have in life is making the mistake of never trying at all.” Unknown A moment in time More Open Minds Experience New Tasks Introducing New Thoughts Inspiring Memorable Experiences Jean Knox “Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.” Unknown Ten top tips for supporting people with communication difficulties to use Pocket ideas 1.
