Dementia Learning Forum - Therapeutic Values in Music

If you or the person you care for are affected by Dementia you are invited to come along to any of the Dementia Learning Forums. They're a great opportunity to meet up with some of the people in Fife who are involved in Dementia care and to find out about what is happening with Dementia Care not just in Fife but throughout Scotland. 
The topic for this session is ‘Therapeutic Values in Music’ and the keynote speakers are Fiona Crow, Music Therapist, NHS Fife and Jane Bentley, Community Musician, Art Beat.  We are also proud to present ‘Buddy Beat, a Community Drumming Group from Renfrewshire.

We are expecting a high interest from delegates in attending this forum therefore it has been agreed that the session will be capped at 80.  At the last forum in September, a high number of delegates who had not registered in advance attended the forum thus resulting in there not being enough lunch for everyone.  This is extremely unfair for those delegates who pre-registered.  To avoid this happening again, anyone who has not registered in advance will be declined entry to the forum.  It is therefore imperative that delegates register in advance by completing the a booking form as soon as possible as places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  You can get a booking form by contacting Audrey Mackie on 01592 740183 or by email to audreymackie@nhs.net.  (Alternatively you can give Lesley at Fife Carers Centre a call on 01592 642999 or lesley@fifecarers.co.uk and she will complete a form on your behalf and email it to Audrey) Your booking forms should be returned to Audrey by Friday 12th November at the very latest.  A confirmation letter or email will be sent to you once your booking form has been received and a place has been allocated.  If you do not receive a confirmation, please contact Audrey direct who will advise accordingly.
