Trademark law is clear on the protection granted to a university's name, nickname and logo. Its color scheme, however, is (as it were) a gray area. The decision in a recent case, Louisiana State University v. Smack Apparel Co. [2008 U.S. App. LEXIS 24983], promises to change all that. At issue were T-shirts sold to fans over the Internet or to retailers by the Tampa, Fla.-based company that bear what Smack calls "a twisted take" on sporting events and rivalries. The shirts' messages (to give one example, fans of LSU can buy shirts reading "Bama Bleauxs!") depart from the standard offerings of other vendors, but the shirts utilize schools' color schemes and frequently appear alongside apparel that has been officially licensed by the universities.

In 2005, stung by six of Smack's T-shirt designs concerning the appearance of the LSU and University of Oklahoma football teams in the 2004 Sugar Bowl, as well as the number of national championships previously won by Ohio State University and the University of Southern California, those four institutions together sued Smack, alleging that the shirts, by using the schools' colors, infringed their trademark rights. They did so even though, unlike their respective names and commonly used initials, their color schemes are not registered trademarks.

The universities alleged that Smack's shirts infringed their trademarks by combining the universities' colors with references to well-known and highly publicized athletic events in which the universities participated; titles and honors bestowed as a result of the referenced athletic event; and the geographic area in which the university is located or associated. In granting summary judgment for the universities - preventing Smack from manufacturing, distributing or offering for sale any of the six designs - the district court held that Smack's use of the color schemes and similar logos violated the universities' trademarks.

Smack appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which ruled that to prevail on their trademark infringement claim, the universities would have to establish ownership of a legally protectable mark and demonstrate a likelihood of confusion in the marketplace. In examining the first issue, the court noted that, as codified in the Lanham Act, federal trademark law protects "any word, name, symbol, or device, or any combination thereof" that is used or intended to be used "to identify and distinguish" a person's goods "from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods, even if that source is unknown."

In addition, the court stated, a trademark does not have to be registered in order to obtain protection. Ownership of trademarks, the court held, is established by use, not by registration. The four universities that filed suit have, in fact, used their respective color combinations for more than 100 years, and the color schemes can be found in many areas associated with university life, including on campus signs and buildings; on printed brochures, journals and magazines; and in connection with their athletic programs. The result is widespread recognition of the colors among fans of college sports in general and fans of those schools in particular. Smack argued that the color schemes, even when used in connection with text that made reference to the universities or their accomplishments, were too broad to encompass a trademark because the concept of color is not distinctive.

The court rejected Smack's claim, holding that the Lanham Act describes the universe of permissible marks in the broadest of terms. The court, however, did rule that before a color scheme could gain trademark protection, it would have to have acquired secondary meaning and be nonfunctional. To determine whether a color scheme has acquired secondary meaning, courts look at various factors such as the length and manner of use of the mark, volume of sales, amount and manner of advertising, nature of use of the mark or trade dress (the distinctive packaging or design of a product that promotes the product and distinguishes it from other products in the marketplace) in newspapers and magazines, and the defendant's intent in copying it.

In this case, given the longstanding use of the color schemes and their prominent display on merchandise, annual sales of the plaintiffs' licensed products exceeding $93 million collectively, the well-known nature of the colors as shorthand for the schools themselves and Smack's intentional use of the colors and other references, the Fifth Circuit held that when viewed in the context of apparel, the marks had acquired the secondary meaning of identifying the universities in the minds of consumers as the source or sponsor of the products rather than identifying the products themselves.

As for the issue of functionality (a product feature that is functional does not qualify for protection under the Lanham Act), the court found that the universities' color schemes, logos and designs have no significance other than identification with the universities. Smack's contention that it would be placed at a significant disadvantage if it were unable to satisfy consumer demand for game-day clothing that allows fans to conform to the crowd was similarly smacked down.

Smack's alleged competitive disadvantage, the court ruled, relates solely to an inability to take advantage of the universities' reputations and the public's desired association with the universities that its shirts create - not an advantage to which it is entitled under the rubric of legitimate competition. Therefore, the court concluded that the marks are nonfunctional. Having met the first part of the test, ownership in a protected trademark, the court next examined whether Smack's use of the colors created a likelihood of confusion in the minds of potential customers as to the source, affiliation or sponsorship of the product at issue.

Smack argued that its T-shirt designs were not identical to any of the T-shirts licensed by the universities and therefore were not likely to cause confusion among consumers. The court, however, disagreed and held that the overwhelming similarity of the marks and Smack's admitted intent to profit from the universities' reputations compelled such a conclusion. Smack's use of the universities' colors and marks was designed to create the illusion of affiliation with the universities, the court said, and essentially obtain a free ride by profiting from confusion among fans of the universities' football teams.

Finally, Smack argued that since LSU knew of and never objected to the shirt designs, the doctrine of "laches" applied. Similar to "statute of limitations," except based on equity rather than on law, the doctrine holds that neglecting to assert a right, together with a lapse of time and other circumstances, prejudices an adverse party. Laches is comprised of three elements: delay in asserting one's trademark rights, lack of excuse for the delay, and undue prejudice to the alleged infringer caused by the delay.

In rejecting this defense, the Fifth Circuit held that because Smack admitted it intentionally copied the universities' color schemes, with the bad-faith intent to capitalize on the universities' goodwill, it lacked the clean hands necessary to assert the defense. As the popularity of college athletics has grown, so too has demand for university memorabilia, making it essential that institutions actively protect any trademarks associated with their university or athletics program.

The Fifth Circuit's decision aids universities in two ways. First, it should help them maintain control of their image, by preventing guerilla companies from selling products alongside officially licensed merchandise. If Smack or other apparel manufacturers printed negative messages on their shirts and fans perceived a particular university as their source or sponsor, the university's image and goodwill could be damaged in the minds of consumers. Second, the decision should protect the value of universities' licensing programs. Any decision allowing Smack or other manufacturers to sell similar products directly alongside university-licensed merchandise would not only have damaged the value of their athletic licensing program, but could have had a negative impact on the budgets of the schools and athletic teams.

Using eBay’s Global Shipping Program – a Guide for New Sellers

Be sure to check out our follow-up post Does eBay’s Global Shipping Program Make International E-Commerce Better For Buyers?

If you’re a new eBay seller in the US or UK, you have probably already noticed something called the Global Shipping Program (GSP). To put it simply, the GSP is eBay’s international delivery program and it claims to simplify the process of selling items to international buyers.

As a seller, you ship the purchased item to a US/UK depot where the contents are verified, customs forms are completed and then the item is sent on to the buyer. The US/UK shipping centre takes all responsibility for the item once it has arrived at their depot.

Some sellers are reluctant to sell to international buyers due to the perceived hassle and complexity of customs and international postage, not to mention the potential for scams and fraud. GSP seems to offer a great alternative for sellers looking to expand or utilise their eBay business. Or does it? Read on to find out the good, the bad and the important details of the Global Shipping Program.

The advantages of the Global Shipping Program

The main positives mirror GSP’s unique selling point. International customs, taxes and additional charges are all calculated and organised by the US/UK shipping centre. Not only does GSP take care of the practicalities, but it also protects sellers by taking responsibility for the item as soon as it reaches the US/UK depot. This protection means sellers do not have to refund buyers if the item is lost or damaged after leaving the country, taking away a huge source of concern for many eBayers nervous about selling internationally.

On the rating side of things, negative/neutral feedback from buyers relating to item handling during international transit is removed if a seller uses GSP to ship an international item. Low ratings for delivery speed and/or shipping and handling costs also do not count towards performance standards as long as the seller sends the package to GSP within a reasonably fast time-frame.

It is an unfortunate reality that a small number of countries have a reputation for being ‘hot spots’ for eBay scams. Due to this, some sellers prefer to avoid selling to individuals from certain countries. Picking and choosing which countries to ship to is possible with GSP, allowing sellers to still retain some control over international shipping options.

Some drawbacks

All sounding a bit too good to be true? Well, you’d be partly right. There are some catches to GSP. Firstly, if you didn’t already guess, the program is limited to US and UK sellers at this time. In addition, not all items are eligible to be sent via GSP (read on for more details).

The next disadvantage is far more significant, despite it not directly affecting sellers. GSP charges buyers with two delivery fees – one to cover the cost for the seller sending the item to the shipping depot, and then another for the international postage and related fees. This increases the cost of the item for the buyer and also slows down the overall process.

Something else that can be off-putting to buyers is the inability for GSP to combine orders at this time. International shipping costs are only ‘estimated’ before the buyer purchases the item, which also doesn’t inspire confidence to buy. Thinking about shipping costs, GSP has been accused of quoting higher taxes and custom fees than necessary, especially when sending items to neighbouring Canada from the US.

There is no doubt that GSP can help sellers avoid the consequences of the most common eBay scams, but it should be considered that scammers will always find a way around new obstacles. So using GSP does not necessarily mean you have 0% chance of being a victim to a scam.

Useful, but not flawless

The Global Shipping Program offers both new and experienced eBay sellers the opportunity to sell to an international market with less hassle and risk. The liability for delivery is GSP’s, with sellers only having to prove package was sent and received at the US/UK depot. International shipping for many Ebay sellers would not be a consideration without the help and assistance of GSP. However, GSP has also been accused of causing lower sales due to buyers being put off by the higher charges and slower delivery time. Although GSP may offer a higher standard of seller protection, some eBayers prefer not to rely on a third party to deliver items to purchasers and continue using their own tried and trusted methods.

The details

Participation in GSP is free and is currently available for sellers in the UK and US to deliver items to 62 other participating countries. GSP automatically generates the cost of international shipping based on the item’s size, weight, category and destination.

Items must be listed in a category supported by GSP and Paypal payments must be accepted by the seller. eBay’s GSP specifies a maximum package weight and size, and the item cannot be worth more than £1500/$2500 (less for certain destination countries). Delivery addresses must be a residential or street address – with the exception of P.O. Boxes in Canada.

The Surge 2 Announced, Coming in 2019
Melbourne, Victoria

The Surge from publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer Deck13 was touted as a sci-fi Dark Souls prior to release. A sentiment that mostly rang true, with the game going on to find success across PC and consoles. And now we've got word that sequel is in the works, with a release window of 2019.

As per the press release players can expect more of everything, plus a brand new and more ambitious environment to explore. And then die in. And then continue exploring. And then die again. And then...

The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original – hardcore combat utilizing a unique, dynamic limb targeting system and deep character progression – while also expanding greatly upon the formula. The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated citywith larger and more ambitious level design, made possible by Deck13’s upgraded and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system. In addition, more abilities, weapons, implants, and drones give players a vast arsenal to build their character with, in their fight against the array of diverse new enemies and bosses.

We should probably expect to see more of The Surge 2 later in the year. In the meantime why not check out our review of the original.

I'm glad this is happening. The Surge was a good attempt at a Soulslike game and a massive improvement over Lords of the Fallen so I'm excited to see if they keep improving.

Reclaim Your Health, Reclaim Your Self
8-Week Program for Women

Dear Beautiful Women,

We know you are busy and have a really full life.  We also suspect, that like a lot of women we know, you might be struggling with overwhelm, fatigue, hormonal and digestive issues.  It is challenging to find enough time to take care of ourselves while taking care of everyone and everything around us. We get it!

We want to help you feel great again!  This program is designed for busy women like yourself to start thriving again through learning the time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda in a supportive setting of dynamic women.  We are inviting you to join our 8-week program and return to your vibrant, inspired self.

Let us tell you an inspirational story...

Robin came to us feeling tired, not sleeping well, feeling disconnected from what she was here for and wanting to feel passionate again.

She came to us ready to make a change and needing that extra support.

First we had to get to the underlying root cause of her patterns of staying up late and focusing on the needs of everyone else instead of moving forward with her own dreams.

What she discovered surprised her.

She uncovered that she was taking care of everyone else for fear of not being valued or needed.

This was an ah-ha moment.

Not taking care of herself was rooted in old feelings of not being valuable and worthy.

In Robin’s case, after identifying the root of her struggle, we worked together to help her remember the truth about herself and come back to that place of self-love. In this place she could see her worth and distinguish it from her story and old, disempowering recordings.

Through the Ayurvedic practice of creating her evening routine in alignment with nature and applying specific self-care practices, she was sleeping soundly that very night!

Through beginning to distinguish the emotional road blocks and taking guided actions, she experienced immediate results that inspired her to keep moving forward on her path.

Setting herself up in the evening to get sound, restful sleep shifted everything!

She was waking refreshed and inspired to follow through with the morning routine we created together.

It was like a cloud had lifted. She felt connected in her body and empowered in her life.

She made some courageous moves to start moving toward her passions and she let her husband and kids know she would not be available on a whim.

She was back in the driver’s seat of her life.

This is what we call Freedom!

And guess what, everyone benefitted!  Sometimes we think prioritizing our self and our needs is “selfish.”  But, the truth is, when we are thriving, so is everyone around us.

What results do you want to create in your life and body?

What would it feel like to have magnetic energy, drawing your ideal life toward you - now?!

I’m Ready to Feel Good! Let’s Get Started.
" id="btn_1_aa73082905c9c5b7088497649b599713" class="css-button style-1">ORDER NOW - $39.95

Are you tired of not getting restful sleep, feeling like you are constantly on the go and barely having enough energy to get through the day?

Remember how it felt to wake up energized and excited for the day ahead?

It’s actually possible to feel this way again, regardless of your age or history.

The time-tested wisdom of Ayurveda has taught us, in our own lives, how to return to a balanced state of well-being, again and again.

In our professional practices, we have successfully supported hundreds of women over the past 20 years to reclaim their energy and passion in a sustainable way.

What we have to share with you here, in our 8-week program, is what we feel all women, everywhere ought to know.

It is time to stop struggling to figure out the right approach to solving your digestive, sleep and energy challenges.

Ayurveda has the answers!  Our clients say things like: “I wish I would have learned these techniques in my early 20’s!”, and, “I can’t imagine my life now without these practices you taught me.”

It’s not too late. Truly, we feel it is our birthright to feel energized, passionate, worthy and vital.

There is no reason we should settle for anything less.

You are here to contribute your gifts to the world in a way that feels balanced and fulfilling.

Your body is your vehicle to getting there.

We bring together the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, our personal experience and the results we have seen working with women who have have incorporated these tools to thrive.

We know it works.

It is simple and profound, and you won’t believe you have gone most of your life without this information.

But really, it isn’t information that makes the difference.  What actually makes the difference is applying these changes and practices in your life.

When supported by a community of women, we can make changes so much quicker, and it’s a lot more fun celebrating our victories together.

In our 8-week program, Reclaim Your Health ~ Reclaim Your Self, we coach you, with a group of dynamic, gorgeous women on a powerful journey of reclaiming your energy, digestion and sleep.

When we feel amazing, the impact ripples out into every area of our lives.

There is nothing more important than that you feel good!

Who This Program Is For:
This program is for you if you’re…

  • A busy woman with a full life
  • Stretched in many directions
  • Ready to prioritize yourself
  • Done feeling overwhelmed and exhausted
  • Want a life of ease and balance
  • Want radiant energy, refreshing sleep and healthy digestion
I am ready to reclaim my health! Sign me up!

What is at the root of your lack of energy, sleep or digestive issues?

Maybe you don’t know?  Maybe you have been searching for a long time?!

It’s hard to figure out what you need to eat when you are exhausted and overwhelmed!

This program will give you simple guidelines for getting back to creating your days, rather than being at the whim of your schedule.

During the 8 week program together, we will uncover what is underneath your challenges and create a clear path to regaining your full vitality and passion.

Through coaching and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda you will uncover the key actions you need to be taking right now to start transforming your health and life.

Here’s what you can expect from our 8 weeks of working together:

  • Renewed Energy, creativity, joy and productivity!
  • Help overcoming fatigue, digestive issues and hormone imbalances
  • Return to passion and excitement with accomplishing your goals
  • Sound, restful sleep.
  • Know what and how to eat for strong digestion.
  • Confidence and Trust in your own inner guidance

You might be thinking this is too good to be true, but we have worked with hundreds of clients over the years and we have seen how dramatic the results can be from a few simple practices.

We are going to make this as easy for you as possible, but it is also going to require you to take the actions.  It will require a commitment on your part - a commitment to yourself!

We want to ask you, are you willing to make a commitment to yourself for 8 weeks?  If so, we are here and ready to support you.  You will be amazed at the results you receive in just

8 weeks.  And you will have the tools and knowledge to continue to increase your energy and health throughout your life.

We talk to a lot of women who can’t imagine finding more time to take care for themselves, in even the simplest ways, like making lunch, finding time to stop and breath or move their bodies.

We know your schedule is already too full.

This program is not about taking more time, it is simply about aligning ourselves with our purpose and vision for our lives.

When this occurs, we get creative about how we want to design our days.  The things that don’t serve us and suck our energy drop away.

It is about reclaiming your time and restructuring your day in balance with nature.  All of a sudden there is time to take care of yourself in ways you never imagined.  We will walk you through this process.

Testimonials From Happy Clients:

"I am reminded of the idea of being gentle, kind and nurturing with myself."

"Since participating in this program, I am reminded of the idea of being gentle, kind and nurturing with myself; because of the way Kael and Sarah talk.  I have never felt this before.  I’ve begun to talk to myself and treat myself like a precious being, as I would my child or my sister.  I have brought in to my day-to-day life the awareness of how important and OKAY it is to be kind to myself. This is a lifelong habit I intend to cultivate."

Dawn, Health and Business Coach

"I’m enjoying my body for the first time in I don’t know how long."

"I love you both.  Thank you for your inspiration, courage and partnership that had you be so bold to create and share this work.  Your gentleness and spaciousness acted like an invitation to be gentle, loving, spacious and forgiving with myself.  I’m enjoying my body for the first time in I don’t know how long.  I’ve been wanting my body to be different my entire life.  I’m tickled.  I feel comfortable exactly how I am, right now.  This is a result that’s possible from all of us being together.  I AM passing it on!"

"Yesterday was my 5th night without taking any ambien before bed.  I'm free!!!”

"After 3 years of taking Ambien for sleep at night, yesterday was my 5th day successfully sleeping through the night without taking any ambien before bed. I had started weaning myself off of it during the digestive reset and it only took 5 days to come off it. I'm using essential oils, the sleep easy oil, meditation and relaxation exercises to reduce my stress before bed.  I've been wanting to do this for a while and with this program and everyone's support, I'm free!!! "

Laura, Business Owner

I have come away with a framework for incorporating Ayurvedic practices into my life in a way that works for me. Even in this short period of time, I have witnessed the effects of these practices on my physical, mental and spiritual health and well being.I appreciate that Kael and Sarah have so generously shared their knowledge with our group of women - ladies you are wonderful teachers! So supportive and non-judgemental. I appreciated the women who so bravely shared their stories, struggles and triumphs.

    So yesterday I made a post concerning a hen that I thought might be egg bound. As I was soaking her belly in warm water and massaging it this morning I noticed something above her tail. Now I don't believe this is her oil gland, however, I am so paranoid at this point I don't know what to think. Here are some pictures:

    She has "droopy tail" and is barely walking at this point but she does stand a little. She is eating, drinking, preening and bright eyed. I don't know what to do. She did poop this morning and it was the right consistency. I'm thinking the best think to do is just let her be with her flock. [IMG] Any suggestions?

    I've never seen an oil gland on a live bird, but that looks just exactly like the ones on my meaties last year, so that's my vote. The droopy tail, and standing upright sounds like egg bound. there should be lots of advice if you do a search! good luck!

    Yes, that is the oil gland. If you suspect she is still eggbound, continue with the warm water soaks and belly massage. You can put a little olive oil inside her vent to help lube it to make it easier for her to lay the egg.

    May 11, 2011
    Have a trio of silver and a trio of gold - have liked them and had a chance to pick some up at auction. Probably last year's hatch (fully mature) - one of the silvers laid a few days after but hasn't in about 3 weeks. I understand they aren't known for laying production but it takes eggs to hatch chicks. :-D So short of music and wine - what can I do to insure better results here? They're on layer feed, a little corn (very little due to size), in good condition, plenty of light; had them all in a 4x8 pen for a few weeks but now have each trio in their own 'stall' - no eggs since making that switch. Will be constructing more permanent housing but at present they're confined for protection. Time? Ideas?

    These aren't at this point a "serious" (ie money making) project - I just like them but didn't want to order 25 then have 10 roosters to do something with - had a chance to grab trios and snagged it! I don't know for sure that they're last year's birds - could be older which I know is a factor but shouldn't be none - or ??/

Double hat-trick for Dowds as Bann hit double figures

Banbridge tantalised the Harlequins defence, netting a startling 14 goals on Saturday afternoon. INBL1438-291EB
Banbridge tantalised the Harlequins defence, netting a startling 14 goals on Saturday afternoon. INBL1438-291EB

Banbridge showed their ruthlessness in their pursuit of the Ulster Premier League title on Saturday, thrashing Belfast Harlequins 14-0.

With goals coming early in the first half from Stephen Dowds and Neil Gilmore, it seemed like the Belfast men were in for a tough game.

And so it transpired. Bann continued to put pressure on the Harlequins defence with Stephen Dowds adding a third to the Banbridge score line with a well-placed drag flick.

As the game continued, Harlequins found it difficult to break through the defensive line of Carlisle, Brown, Bell and Forbes only having their first circle penetration 15 minutes into the game, but to no dividends.

Soon after, on form Neil Gilmore added his second to the score-sheet following good approach play from Peter Brown and Jamie Wright.

More goals from Dowds, Mills and McCandless meant the Banbridge men went into half time with a 7-0 lead.

With nothing to lose, Harlequins came out strong at the beginning of the second half, winning their first short corner of the game. The resulting corner was deemed to be too high following a hit from the top of the circle to Banbridge’s relief.

The game seemed further out of reach for the visiting team as McCandless, Gilmore and Mills added more goals to the tally.

As the game continued, Dowds kept scoring, finishing with an impressive six goals for the game. Gilmore also finishing with another impressive individual tally of four goals and McCandless and Mills with two a piece taking the final score line to 14-0. A dominating performance with many positives for the Banbridge men to take into Tuesday night’s Kirk Cup game against Newry.

Banbridge continued their winning run in the Kirk Cup last Tuesday with a 3-1 win over Cookstown at Havelock.

Scott Forbes opened the scoring, slamming home after Fraser Mills beat two defenders before pulling the ball back.

Ten minutes into the second half Mills netted himself to make it 2-0.

Ewan Butler eventually got one back for the visitors but Bann kept going and showed the fight that they are well known for. Neil Gilmore continued his top class start for the club and got Bann’s final goal with a powerful reverse after a penalty corner break down.

Dementia care improved by just one hour of social interaction each week

Increasing the amount of social interaction for people with dementia living in care homes to just one hour a week improves quality of life when combined with personalised care.

Bangor University's Dementia Services Development Centre at the School of Healthcare Sciences contributed to a large-scale trial led by the University of Exeter, King’s College London and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, which found that the approach also saves money.

Previous research has found that in many care homes, residents have as little as two minutes of social interaction per day.

The new research, funded by the National Institute of Health Research and published today in the journal PLOS Medicine, upskilled key care home staff to deliver person-centred care. That involves simple measures such as talking to residents about their interests and involving them in decisions around their own care.

When combined with just one hour a week of social interaction, the programme improved quality of life and reduced agitation and aggression in people with dementia.

Professor Clive Ballard, of the University of Exeter Medical School, who led the research, said: “While many care homes are excellent, standards still vary hugely. We have previously found that the average amount of social interaction for people with dementia was just two minutes a day. It’s hardly surprising when that has a knock-on effect on quality of life and agitation.

The trial involved more than 800 people with dementia across 69 care homes in South London, North London and Buckinghamshire. Two ‘care staff champions’ at each home were trained over four day-long sessions, to deliver more personalised care and structured social activities. Importantly, the approach also saved money compared to standard care.  Researchers say the next key challenge is to roll out the programme to the 28,000 care homes in the UK to benefit the lives of the 300,000 people with dementia living in these facilities.

Dr Jane Fossey from the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: “Taking a person-centred approach is about getting to know each resident as an individual - their interests and preferences - and reflecting these in all aspects of care. It can improve the lives of the person themselves and it can be rewarding for carers too. We’ve shown that this approach significantly reduces agitation and saves money. Rolling out the training nationwide could benefit many other people.”

The results are the findings of the Improving Wellbeing and Health for People with Dementia (WHELD) trial, the largest non-pharmacological randomised control trial in people with dementia living in care homes to date.

Dr Doug Brown, Director of Research at Alzheimer’s Society, said: “70% of people living in care homes have dementia, so it is vital that staff have the right training to provide good quality dementia care.

“A person-centred approach takes into account each individual's unique qualities, abilities, interests, preferences and needs. This study shows that training to provide this type of individualised care, activities and social interactions can have a significant impact on the well-being of people living with dementia in care homes. It also shows that this kind of effective care can reduce costs, which the stretched social care system desperately needs.

“Alzheimer’s Society is committed to improving dementia care through research. That means getting interventions like this put into practice, and funding further research to improve the quality of life for people with dementia in their own homes, care homes and hospitals.”

The project included collaboration from University College London, the London School of Economics, the universities of Hull, Nottingham and Bangor, and Alzheimer’s Society.

Professor Bob Woods, of Bangor University’s Dementia Services Development Centre, who contributed to the development of the intervention and its evaluation, commented:

‘In Wales, concerns continue to be raised about the over-use of anti-psychotic medication to reduce agitation in people with dementia living in care homes. This study shows clearly that there is an affordable alternative. We should be aiming for even more than one hour a week of personalised, structured social activities for our care home residents with dementia’
