The placement was part of the study entitled: Increasing the availability of Cognitive Rehabilitation for people with dementia in Ireland. My training involved a 9-module GREAT-Cognitive Rehabilitation (CR) eLearning programme (developed by Dr Linda Clare), HSE training modules required by TUH, and meeting with PPI contributors with experience of CR. I was responsible for delivering CR to participants with dementia in their homes, supported by the RSMC and the ProBrain Lab. Intervention delivery was supported by fortnightly clinical supervision. Data collection and monitoring was also my responsibility for allocated participants.

Observing the intervention exercises for motor and non-motor symptoms for the disorder in their online sessions. I have designed two creative Christmas activities, one cognitive and one psychological/emotional well-being activity for persons with Parkinson's. Further, I also designed a poster for awareness on the topic “Dealing with the diagnosis of Young Onset Parkinson's Disorder”. It is a new learning experience to observe the symptoms of PwP and their journey towards the least restrictive life possible.
