My Work

Abstract

Phyl Tappin is passionate about her work as an outreach worker for dementia sufferers. Her knowledge of and insight into the illness is evident, as is her commitment to breaking down the barriers surrounding it: from changing attitudes to providing practical help for sufferers and carers. Having trained as a nurse to becoming a health visitor, then witnessing her mother develop dementia, Phyl takes us on her journey of discovery, and explains why no barrier is too big.
