The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

Welcome to our summary report, created to share knowledge, learning
and inspiration. Firstly we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone
who came, supported and contributed -you created an amazing meet-up.
This report is a summary of what we did, and how we did it. Hopefully
inspiring people to have a go themselves, and do things in new ways.
We have a lot more data that is in separate reports, as this one is
already 32 pages! Email or phone us to talk more about these please.
Its up-to-date, North Wales-specific information from people who use
and deliver services, and we all want it to be used to bring real change.
Pam and I worked with Chris, his family and our community to create
a genuinely co-produced meet-up.We’re proud so many speakers
were people with dementia, their carers and families, and able to be
positive role models and authentic voices. 3 speakers on day 1 and 15%
of our 95 attendees have dementia. It’s so important people who are
experiencing dementia are given opportunities to contribute and
tell their stories. Many are in our overview video (https://youtu.be/
YYksqxrnmKw) with more videos on our youtube channel.
We had no funding, and the paid ticket and stand fees enabled us
to offer 50% of attendees free tickets. Real learning took place and
4 people were trained as Dementia Friends. Everyone took part in
conversations as equals, providing us with invaluable insights and lived
experience to create realistic and appropriate actions. If you would like
to join our community please do contact us, we’d love to hear from you.
Dementia North Wales Meet-up 2: 22 & 23 November 2016 -Please
come, offer to speak/host a conversation, invite, share and/or sponsor!

Thanks to our community, speakers and sponsors for all their great support.
Joseph Rowntree Foundation funding enabled us to review the data, create
this report and print copies for each attendee. Also to commission John
Pophamto to video the meet-up and produce
a meet-up overview video. We would have
liked to hold a fully bilingual meet-up but had
insufficient funding to do so.

WELCOME TO OUR MEET-UP
What to expect - I’m delighted to offer you our fabulous programme.
I believe it sets an important milestone in Wales, as an event that has
been co-designed and will be co-delivered by People with Dementia
and their families and carers.
From the outset our aim has been to host an inclusive event, we’ve
been on a journey of discovery as to what this means in the context of
Dementia and we’re confident that we still have much to learn!
Chris Jayne and I had a ‘Tweet-up’ about 18 months ago when we realised
we lived close to each other in North Wales. I feel so fortunate to know
them, their energy, resilience and love inspires me and many others.
So… today will be about working together.We want you to experience
how much can be achieved together, through the simple art of
conversation.
“Human conversation is the most ancient and easiest way
to cultivate the conditions for change—personal change,
community and organisational change, planetary change. If
we can sit together and talk about what’s important to us,
we begin to come alive.”
~ Margaret Wheatley
To enable this to happen, each of you has an important role to play,
we need you:
• to listen deeply
• to contribute your thoughts, feelings, ideas and hopes
• to support each other throughout the day, and be sensitive to the
different requirements we each have
• to respect each other, let’s slow down the pace and take care to
enable everyone a space for their contribution.
CREATING A HOSPITABLE SPACE:
We hope you enjoy the comfort of this lovely hotel which provides us a
very hospitable space for our conversations. I find that both the ‘FREDA’
and ‘The World Cafe’ principles help me think about the conditions for
hosting conversations that matter…
(FREDA Principles = Fairness Respect Equality Dignity Autonomy)
We invite each of you to contribute your whole self, speak from the
heart as well as the mind.Three things that matter to me today are that:
1. We enjoy our conversations
2. We have time to reflect throughout
the day on what we’re learning
3. At the close of the meet-up we
will have harvested an abundance
of ideas information and actions
I invite you to relax and enjoy the day, thank you.

PAM LUCKOCK’S PRESENTATION
6. 6
Hello and welcome.
My name is Chris Roberts, I’m 54 and I’m
living with mixed dementia, vascular and
Alzheimer’s, I was diagnosed nearly three
years ago. I can’t cross roads on my own,
I’ve forgotten how to write and don’t always
recognise my family and friends. I struggle
with my sleep, balance and sometimes words.
At diagnosis we felt very lost and alone but
with support and understanding you can live
along side this illness. There is no reason
that the UK and in particular Wales shouldn’t
become the first dementia friendly nation in
the world.
A place where “people with dementia feel
understood, engaged, included and valued.”
Creating a dementia friendly nation starts
with all of us. We all have a role to play in
helping people with dementia sustain their
independence and dignity and sense of
purpose in our community. By making small
changes we can make a big difference.
I’d like you all to think about how your
organisation can be more dementia friendly?
How you can make your community more
dementia friendly? How you can become more
dementia friendly?
The growing number of people living with
dementia will require a shift in how we
respond to the needs of people with dementia
in the community. There are currently 850,000
people living with dementia, 44,000 of them
are under 65, 45,000 people with dementia
are living here in Wales and with diagnosis
rates at less than 50% these figures are likely
to be much higher.
Without a medical breakthrough this number
is expected to grow and grow. So ‘creating’
a dementia friendly nation starts with all
of us. The growing number of people living
with dementia will require a shift in how we
respond to the needs of people with dementia
in the community,
Today, dementia is the third leading cause of
death and is expected to become the leading
cause of death in the not too distant future.
Over a million people are currently caring for
a person with dementia, making it a disease
that touches almost everyone.
However, research shows that most of people
still know very little about dementia and find
the disease frightening. They have heard of the
word but still don’t understand its meaning
By encouraging people and the community to
become dementia friendly and aware we can
create places where people with dementia
are understood, where they can feel involved
and supported to live as independently as
possible. Where they can continue to be part
of their community and social network for as
long as possible which must be a good thing
for everyone.
A dementia friendly society has to involve
people with dementia as equal partners, they
need to feel like they are able and empowered
to make decisions about their lives.
People living with dementia should be
included and involved and given choice and
control over their day to day life. So they can
live in their community, independently for as
long as possible. The community and home
care sectors should be the leaders of the
dementia friendly approach.
Clearly aged, community and home care
providers as well as GPs, pharmacies and
other health care professionals should all
be leading the way to becoming dementia
friendly.
To change negative perceptions of dementia
and embrace dementia friendly organisations
and communities, to ensure we provide
people living with dementia the best possible
environment to live in and the best possible
care available
People with dementia are our grandparents,
our parents, our partners, our brothers, our
sisters, even our close friends.This is the face of
dementia! Being Dementia Friendly should touch
every aspect of daily life.To change negative
perceptions of dementia and embrace dementia
friendly organisations and communities.

CHRIS ROBERTS’ PRESENTATION: EDUCATION AND INCLUSION
7. 7
Hello, my name is Kate and I am 17 years old.
I am the youngest of 5 children and a carer
alongside my mum for my dad. I left sixth
form in January as it wasn’t the right fit for me
and I’m now doing an apprenticeship to gain
qualifications in childcare.
Dad is 54 now but was diagnosed a few
years ago at 50. I was confused to begin with
as I always thought it was an ‘old persons’
disease. My parents explained everything they
could but I looked on the internet for more
information. I found lots of scientific articles
and many on dealing with grandparents.
However, there were very few stories on young
people whose parents were diagnosed.
At the time we were all getting used to
our new life, my brothers and sister lived
elsewhere, and my other sister had a busy
social life, so I turned to my friends for
support.
If a person’s parent was diagnosed with cancer
(not implying that this is a lesser disease, only
that people are more aware about it) people
would be much more understanding, and there
would be a lot more support from people.
When I told my friends about my dad, all I got
back was “Oh, are you alright?” and nothing
more.
But what could I expect? I was as clueless as
them on the disease.
I decided to speak to the school support
worker instead.
I explained my situation and the reply I got
was
“Does he still remember you?” I said yes, and
apparently that was okay then.
When I started sixth form, I took health and
social care. One part of the course was a
presentation on a health problem.
With my home life, I knew a fair amount about
Alzheimer’s, and decided my target audience
was 30-40 year olds. I explained that I was
doing this to make people more aware of early
onset, and that it can happen to anyone.
My Health and Social care teacher told me I
shouldn’t do this as people “can’t get it that
young” and that I should change my target
audience to the elderly as this would be more
suitable.
My point is that young people should be
educated about dementia as 1 in 3 of us will
know someone diagnosed.
However, it’s not only the pupils that need to
be educated but the teachers as well.
Dad is an amazing man, and he has had to
give up so much because of his condition.
Like his passion for motorbikes, his driving
licence, and all the jobs that would once come
so effortlessly to him.
Alternatively, he still has his sense of humour!
If anything ever happens, like putting things
in the wrong places, or getting me fish fingers
when I’ve asked for a packet of crisps?! We
laugh together.
He says when a diagnosis is given, it is the
whole family that is diagnosed.
It’s my dad’s journey, but we are passengers on
this journey.
My mum is my rock, but my dad, my dad is my
hero.
Thank you.

KATE ROBERTS’ PRESENTATION
8. 8
My family, and how proud am I.
Ours is not a sad story. It is too early for that.
Our story is one of love, of despair when Chris,
and the whole family, received his diagnosis.
At that point we were given the famous
welcome pack, a prescription for the second
favourite dementia drug, that might, or might
not help. Nobody could say. And we didn’t get
the first choice drug because he had a
co-morbidity.
I thought he had emphysema, but once you
are diagnosed with a dementia, then all other
conditions, be they terminal or otherwise,
come second.And after the despair, we
realised our ignorance. Ignorance of what is to
come, no-one told us that. Ignorance of what
to do about it, no-one told us that, either.
As Kate has said we turned to Dr Google.
Fabulous resource, once you’ve learned how
to sort the fact from the fiction, the ‘horror’
and the inevitability of that downward spiral
into the obligatory pit of despair.And then our
story turned into one of hope.
Chris became involved in an online world of
dementia empowerment.And this on-line
world was, guess what? It was based in reality
world! With the support of DEEP dementia
engagement and empowerment Project, we
attended conferences.
And so our education started.
We learned there were many different types
of dementia.We learned there was a mass of
research out there specific to dementia
Of course research into the holy grail of a
cure. Research into living well with dementia.
Research into the arts and how that could and
would benefit people living with the disease.
Research into psycho social interventions,
mindfulness, exercise, risk reduction etc.
We learned that there was hope
We learned so much more than we could find
here or were offered here at home.
And guess what? There were people with
dementia walking and talking at these
conferences. And speaking, too!
We learned most of all that we didn’t have
to go home and wait for the grim reaper,
who would be preceded by all the demons of
Milton’s Paradise Lost.
That is not the inevitability. Now, don’t get me
wrong, we are not wearing Pollyanna’s rose
tinted glasses.We do understand the total
brutality of what may, and often does transpire
with this disease. But not yet.
There is a beginning, and a middle, and
later on there will be the late stage.We are
somewhere near the middle, having missed
most of the early stage because we were
getting on with life!
But we are not yet near where, upon diagnosis,
I categorised Chris. I disempowered and
disabled him, out of love.And ignorance. I
took over far more of what he could do, as I
thought that’s what I was supposed to do!
What we needed was education.
We needed to know the facts, the treatments
and the ways of managing the condition,
and from that coping with what very quickly
became our way of life.
Our family has been so fortunate in that Chris is
a pragmatist, a realist, and someone who sees
the solution to a problem before it becomes a
problem. Not everyone has that skill.
And that is what we are asking for today.What
is it you can bring to the table.What is it that
you and your family need from the people
who provide and commission services for you?
What have been your issues? Today is your
opportunity to say it from your perspective,
to have your say and your voice heard.And
these good people will make sure that what is
discussed today, will be acted upon! Thank you.

GROUP ACTIVITY 2 - THE DEMENTIA CARE PATHWAY IN NORTH WALES - IDENTIFYING ISSUES AND GAPS
Issues and Gaps/Ideas
We have identified the main themes from the tablesheets and have
the detailed information in a separate document.There were many
overlapping areas, with people having a clear idea where the gaps and
issues were, citing specific examples.
The issues are for everyone with and around the person with dementia,
their family, carers and the people supporting them. Having all these
people at the table (literally) enabled us to gain a ‘whole picture’ of
what the pathway looks like now. To start identifying how and where
improvements could be made.
Main Themes:
1. Awareness of dementia / knowledge of dementia
2. Challenges with influencing commissioners, including people with
dementia, citizen voices

at your age?!”

• Do not tell us it is old age senility
• Supporter of person diagnosed must have offer of education
and information
• We agree early diagnosis with back up of correct rehab for pwd.

DAY 2 GROUP ACTIVITY 2 - DEMENTIA CARE PATHWAY IN NORTH WALES THEMES
24. 24 DEMENTIA EDUCATION AND INCLUSION MEET-UP NOVEMBER 2015, LLANDUDNO
FEEDBACK: CONVERSATIONS RESULTING IN ACTIONS -‘WHAT’S ONE ACTION OR LEARNING FROM THE MEET-UP?’
• “Dementia is more than ‘just’ memory…I’ve learnt an awful lot about
the sensory issues.As an action, when we are assessing someone, we
certainly need to be looking ‘around’ the issue of food refusal and not
just assuming it’s the memory that they’ve ‘forgotten’ to eat. It’s actually
asking questions like “What does it taste like?”“Does it have a funny
smell?”“Is it cooked the way you like it?”…so I’ve had lots of tips”
• “I’ve really enjoyed the last two days, even after being in the Health
Service for 40 years, I’ve learnt so much in the last 2 days.The educating
(others) part is something I’m going to take back with me and working
with Health Carers, Nurses, wards and people in the community, I think
there’s an awful lot on the education of people with dementia for people
to understand and what I’ve learned is the impact that sensory loss has
on has on dementia patients.”
• “It’s been a great 2 days and what I’m going to take away from it is that
you go to conferences over the years and it always seems to be the
professionals giving the talks. But the brilliant thing about this meet up
is that of the talks yesterday, 5 people talking, 2 or 3 of them were people
with dementia as well as professionals. I think that’s important for any
conference in the future.”
• “I’ve had a great two days. What I’ve learned is that it’s so important to
interact with people who have dementia and to speak to people as there’s
only so much you can learn from a book or a lecture. My undergraduate
education, all I learned was about what happens to the brain, not who
people are, what happens to them and what we can do for them,”
• “I’m absolutely determined to sort out these dementia connections.The
things that’s going to stay with me is Kate’s talk yesterday and when she
said “my mother is my rock, but my father is my hero”…I thought that was
just brilliant!”
• “I’ve really enjoyed today, which had been interesting to connect with
other people. Book of you is great and sometimes can be quite solitary so
to be with other people and to get some ideas which hopefully we can
take forward, would be fantastic.”
• “I’ve found the last two days totally inspiring talking to everyone here.
One solid action that I made with colleagues in the Alzheimer’s society
was that we were going to have an informal partnership to share with
each other what we’re doing so that the research gets out there to staff,
volunteers and people they interact with and similarly services, so that’s
one action that’s going forward already.”
• “I’ve gained so much and it’s really difficult to put in to words. So two
things, I really want this to carry on, so please, let’s not stop here and
getting access to and including more people who are maybe more
difficult to ‘get hold of’ for whatever the reasons, rurality, language or
culture – I’d like to dig under the skin of that a bit in future.”
• “I’ve learned so much, and its shown me again, how much more I need to
learn and I think I’m taking home a lot, I’ve got lots of links (with others)
to work on. I’m ‘stealing’ from Agnes and thinking, start small and I’m
taking from Neil and I’m going to go to the local Chapel – chat to people,
get out what we can do and also what people want.”
• “I think I’ve been humbled. I think that the experience of hearing
people’s stories is the thing that drives you and what I’d like is for you to
hold me to account, in making sure that I try and deliver some of what
you’ve said in the last couple of days.“
• “What came out for me was Hope – I got tremendous hope from today.
I was inspired by John and Richard. Honest communication, we sat here
and we spoke to people like Bob (has dementia), we sat down and spoke
as human beings about our issues, asking for help and listening.The
honest communication was the ‘WOW’ factor”
“You all remind me that I’m not
on my own, it’s fantastic.”
