This book is designed to be used by anybody working with older
adults in residential, nursing and day care facilities. It provides
a wealth of reminiscence material which can be used in a number of
ways to rekindle memories and provide stimulating activity such as
quizzes and discussion. Each year covered in the book is divided
into the sections 'Major events', 'On the home front', 'Music',
'Television', 'Screen and page', 'Sport' and 'Do you remember?'.
Many sections can be easily turned into quizzes and it would be
simple to form a quiz from each year's material. One cannot cover
all that happened in these years nor highlight all the associations
each event or fact triggers, so the material is intended to be
expanded on by the memories it triggers in clients during
discussion. So, for example, where a film title is mentioned ask if
people can recall the stars of the film, its plot and how it ended.
The 'Major events' section will trigger lots of opinions too as it
covers the political events of the decades so try to get the groups
to discuss the ethical and moral dilemmas these posed at the time.
The book is intended for use with individuals and groups but you
will discover that in a group one persons memories will trigger
another's and so what seems like a small topic can last for the
whole session as we all try to tell our personal tales. While the
content has a UK bias, it also covers the major world events of the
decades but I have included a blank page for each year for you to
record your own personal landmarks and achievements and also those
of your local town or community.specialising in older adults mental
health to a deeper level.

This book, written by the author of The Activity and Reminiscence
Yearbook, is all about exploring our very close relationship with
food and its preparation. Because food plays such an important and
pleasurable part in our lives it triggers many memories. Linking
the activities and reminiscence ideas here with recipes will
further enhance the recollection and allow us to re-experience the
tastes of the past. Each chapter includes 'old' recipes for foods
and drinks throughout the year and across the decades, and around
these have been woven activities, quizzes and reminiscence material
including changes over the years with respect to the food itself,
kitchens, cooking, utensils, cookers, food styles, food fads in
different decades, TV cooks, school meals, 'making do', snacks and
so on. There are multiple recipes for each week of the year paired
to a reminiscence theme and an activity, presented in a weekly
format that activity organisers prefer. Many of the ideas and
activities can be undertaken either on a one-to-one basis or as
part of a group activity schedule. Group experiences tend to
enhance the pleasure and allow for more discussion and sharing of
memories, as well as acting as a social get-together. You can use
it as a weekly schedule or just dip in and out of it at will. The
book includes: weekly recipes; reminiscence principles; and
activities and information for weeks 1 to 52. It is a must-have
book which shows how food can be used successfully as a vehicle for
social inclusion and normalisation in institutional settings.
This comprehensive guide provides a bumper book of original
resource material for reminiscence and activities with older people
for a whole year! Containing 52 sections of ideas and resource
materials for each week of the year, this is an invaluable resource
for activity organisers and group leaders in residential, day care
and hospitals, and for anyone working with older people. There is a
theme for each week, eg. Animals and pets, with corresponding ideas
for social events, reminiscence, exercises and games, quizzes, art
and crafts, as well as 'this week in history', good ideas',
'discussion topics', 'homework' and the option to personalise the
week by recording local anniversaries and events alongside personal
landmarks and details. The ideas are easy to use and are relevant
for both groups and individuals, including those with mental health
and cognitive problems. Some activities require some physical
effort, others mental effort, but they are all adaptable to be fun
and achievable. This book also includes an introduction to the
nature and value of reminiscence and activities, and guidelines on
'how to do it'. Written by the author of "Groupwork Activities",
this comprehensive resource provides hundreds of activity and
reminiscence ideas - a fantastic resource.

This popular book is the ideal companion text for all new and
trainee nurse mentors, providing unique strategies and ideas to
help devise and enhance learning opportunities for their
students.With a practical and accessible style, the book answers
the many questions that mentors may have about the mentoring role,
including: How can I create a good learning environment? What
should I include in my mentor's portfolio? How can I best support
failing students? The book includes plentiful case studies, tools
and interventions that you can use in clinical practice, and is
full of real insights from students and mentors. Fully updated in
this second edition the book includes new and additional coverage
on e-portfolios, undertaking student evaluations, conducting the
final interview, using evidence as a mentor, the best way to teach
skills in practice and how to demonstrate leadership skills as a
mentor."This book is essential reading for newly qualified nurses
intending to develop their professional skills by becoming mentors.
Well written in accessible language the book progresses logically
and comprehensively. It begins by setting the context of mentorship
within contemporary legislative and professional frameworks. The
chapters then develop to include the various contexts of learning,
essential core theories of learning, and insider tips on teaching
in the clinical environment.Of course, the mentor also has to
assess students as competent for practice and Danny goes on to
address this with good application to the professional context. He
illustrates strategies to obtain both a successful and a fair
assessment; and identifies an important part of assessment that
often is overlooked. That is how the formative aspects of
assessment complement the students' learning experience thus
closing the learning loop.The final section of this book focusses
on continuing good practice once qualified as a mentor and examines
strategies to develop and update skills within a continually
evolving professional framework. This book therefore provides a
comprehensive resource for both novice and experienced mentors." Dr

Care,The University of Lincoln, UK "This excellent handbook, is a
'must have' resource for all healthcare professionals who are
either embarking on a mentorship role or who are established in
their roles. It is a well written handbook that comprehensively
explores all aspects of mentorship." Dr. Eloise Pearson, Nursing
