Tune in on Wednesday 21 May 2025 for the launch of the third season of our popular Social Care Council ‘Care to chat’ podcast with Dr Wendy Austin MBE returning as host to help tell stories important to the social work and social care workforce.

Ever feel a bit forgetful? In our first episode of 2025, we delve into the world of dementia care and memory services and involves input from social workers and those with lived experience, all experts in the impact of dementia and how to support people and their families.

This episode features social workers from the Southern Health and Social Care Trust, Jenny Magee, Lead Social Worker for Memory services, Lisa Marley, Memory Clinic Manager, Amy Morgan, Newry and Mourne Memory Service and Roisin Donnelly, who is a carer for her mum who lives with dementia.

Despite the challenges, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the daily efforts of social workers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
