Recognising the signs and pain assessment for a person living with dementia behavioural changes can be one of the key indicators of potential pain, a person living with dementia who cannot self-express pain verbally may exhibit behaviours that could be interpreted as behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) or may actually be a means of communication. This will explore pain in a person living with dementia, potential signs and assessment using a validated assessment tool; and how we can potentially reduce distress through effective assessment and management of pain. The workshop supports the outcomes of the Dementia Learning & Development Framework. It will be delivered by Shauna Rooney, Four Seasons Healthcare
