Alcedo Care is pleased to announce that our recently promoted Blackpool Field Care Supervisor, Paul Wilson, who uses his extensive dance knowledge and skills to work with Alcedo Home Care clients, has been awarded a First Class Degree in Dance by Edge Hill University.
Since the beginning of the year Paul has delivered therapeutic dance sessions to Alcedo Care clients, either dancing for them or with them, to raise their spirits, give them an emotional release and help them manage their lockdown stress.
Using his knowledge of the physical and mental health benefits of dance, Paul put together a research project, to establish how dance can be safely integrated into a domiciliary setting, and how and to what degree dance can improve and enrich the lives of home care clients.
Based on the results of his research, Paul has made a series of recommendations as to how dance should be adopted in all domiciliary settings to improve home care clients’ lives.
Alcedo Care is delighted to have been able to facilitate Paul’s important research into improving the lives of home care clients and congratulate him on achieving his well-earned First Class Degree.
Looking to the future Paul will be returning to Edge Hill University to study for a postgraduate MSc in Adult Nursing. He hopes to go on to do more work around the health benefits of dance and one day create a much wider project using dance to improve the health and wellbeing of many more people.
