The Finnish Patient and Customer Safety Association recently awarded Petri Lampinen, member of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD), a badge of merit and a diploma in patient and customer safety. He developed an informative whiteboard with magnetic buttons and colour coding that brings him and those close to him security. The board helps him remember household safety matters such as turning off the cooker, to pay bills and to take his medication, among other things. It has been of such help that it has afforded a break in homecare visits and has attracted interest across Finland, allowing others to develop similar systems for themselves or their family members with dementia. Congratulations to Petri on this great achievement!
