Abstract
Statement of context: The Helping Occupational Performance through Engagement programme is a series of workshops which
aim to equip informal caregivers with the skills and knowledge they require to engage a person with dementia in meaningful daily
occupations.
Reflection on practice: Following the initial implementation of the programme, a service evaluation was carried out to establish
whether these aims were being met. The evaluation took a mixed methods approach, combining questionnaire and focus group
data obtained from participants of the programme.
Implications for practice: Results demonstrated that whilst in general the programme is fulfilling its aims, further evaluation is
required to establish the long-term impact of the programme.
