@drshibley.bsky.socialIt was a great listen though. Enjoy life though. National news too depressing.
@matthew-wright.bsky.socialReposted by @drshibley.bsky.socialBeen really crap on here of late and so apologies for my failure to reply to so many kind messages. Usual distractions - child, motorbikes, fishing, rock n roll and back pain - have all played their part. I promise to do better in future x
@drshibley.bsky.socialI'm trying hard to adopt a health and social care focus for my book on neighbourhoods. This is very hard when my academic position is in sociology, despite working for the NHS, and I came top in my year as an undergrad at Cambridge in medical sociology in 1993.

@drshibley.bsky.socialThe medical model should not be allowed to dominate thinking for living well in people affected by frailty and dementia in neighbourhoods.

@drshibley.bsky.socialThanks to Andy Burnham and Hilary Evans for today. #dementia

@minghowriter.bsky.socialReposted by @drshibley.bsky.socialThanks, @drshibley.bsky.social. Full feature with both pieces here (though a bit small to see; zoom in!) #dementia #caring #carers #alzheimers #JournalofDementiaCare
@drshibley.bsky.socialI despise the medicalisation of the care of older people, reinforced by selfish corporate lobbying by non-specialists.
@drshibley.bsky.socialThe Modern Services Framework for frailty and dementia has a substantial section on unpaid carers, including crisis management and building up their support mechanisms.
Unsurprisingly, the British Geriatrics Society couldn't give a flying fig about them.
@drshibley.bsky.socialReposted by @drshibley.bsky.socialI have real concerns about what kind of initiative the Modern Services Framework for frailty and dementia is, and, accordingly, who exactly will benefit.
Here's a Substack piece of mine on it.

@drshibley.bsky.socialIndependence does not need to be valorised above interdependence or dependence, and autonomy can be relational as well as individualistic. Disability activists please note.
@drshibley.bsky.socialThanks to Journal of Dementia Care for allowing Ming and me to write about this. It's a great piece.

@drshibley.bsky.social15 minutes for effective neighbourhoods homecare for advanced frailty and dementia are a particularly bad idea @andyburnham
