LGBTQ Micro Aggressions in Dementia Care
It can be believed that there are 1.2 million older gay and lesbian people in the U.K (Semlyen 2016). If you apply this number of older LGBTQ people to the fact that one in fourteen people over the age of 65 may develop a form of dementia (Alzheimer’s Society 2017), it can be estimated that there could be around 85,714 gay and lesbian people with dementia in the UK alone.
Webinar Aims:
To identify micro-aggressions in dementia care.
To explore the impact micro-aggressions may have on a LGBT person living with dementia.
To be able to explore ways we can overcome micro-aggressions in dementia care.
Phil Harper, PGDip, is currently a sessional lecturer in dementia care at the University of Worcester, and, Public Health Tutor at Coventry University Group. Phil is also a doctoral candidate at Manchester Metropolitan University exploring care staff’s understanding of the needs of an LGBTQ+ person living with dementia. He has worked in dementia care for 7 years; previously, he worked in hospitals, charitable organizations and care homes. Phil has been involved in the development of dementia training for hospitals and care homes and is most recently a LGBTQ consultant for Ashwell Care Services, a home care company based in Worcestershire specialising in LGBTQ care.
