Mirela Fița

Born and raised in Roşiori de Vede, a quiet town in the south of the country. I graduated from the Economic Administrative High School. After graduation, I attended the Fundeni Postliceal Health School in Bucharest, starting my work as a nurse at the Department of Neurology at the Central Military Emergency University Hospital "Dr. Carol Davila ". In parallel, I attended the courses of the Faculty of Psychology, fascinated by the world of those studying the human soul. Freud, Nietzsche, Jung, and many others have made me want to become a psychologist, which has happened, and that is happening today, which actually continues, because there is nowhere a barrier to stop you and tells you that you know everything. It was the time I discovered Carl Rogers, my initiation as a psychotherapist in the specialty called "Person-centered therapy".
Four years of wonderful experiences, fascinating discoveries of what "me" and "being" mean. After completing the years of training, I continued to read and learn, so I attended a master's degree "Clinical psychology and psychological counseling". And the adventure continues ...
In the last seven years, my professional activity as a clinical psychologist is being carried out within the "Academician Nicolae Cajal" Elderly Home, a place for people with wonderful people next to me, willing to make every effort to give to those hosted here warmth, love and security. What we strive to do best.

Irma Konovalova

I am a research assistant and member of the Ageing and Dementia Research Centre at Bournemouth University, where I have supported psychology research ranging from the use of eye tracking technology in psychological disorders, to the creation of guidelines for dementia-friendly environments. My current projects include an Erasmus-funded project using creative drama in dementia care and using assistive technology to promote autonomy for people with dementia. My journey in psychology began at Bournemouth Univeristy where I completed a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Clinical and Developmental Psychology. I was awarded the Vice Chancellor’s Fusion Award in recognition of my achievements across the fields of research, education and professional practice. However, my interest in dementia specifically started when working as an assistant psychologist, and as a health care assistant in the community and in nursing homes.

Cerasela Maria Măciucă

Cu o experiență de 25 de ani în management și 17 ani în asistența socială, o pot considera o activitate bazată pe regulamente și proceduri. Deviza dupa care m-am ghidat în această viață a fost și rămâne “respect și disciplină!”
Din anul 2016 sunt Președintele A.D.I.V. România (Asociația Directorilor Instituțiilor pentru Vârstnici), unde cu voință și profesionalism caut cele mai bune soluții la problemele și cerințele societății noastre în ceea ce privește persoana vârstnică.
Manageriez Căminul pentru persoane vârstnice al Municipiului București, “Acad. Nicolae Cajal” încă de la înființarea acestuia, și anume din anul 2012, cu multă responsabilitate, demnitate și umanitate, acesta ajungând în topul căminelor de stat din București.
Menționez ca nu putem face asistență socială după norme matematice. Asistența socială se face după normele umane. Asta-i marea problemă: de resursă umană. Nu e ușor să te lupți cu sistemul dar, când îți faci meseria din dorință și iubire pentru oameni, reușești să găsești soluții și să răzbați.


Louise McCabe

My career in the dementia field started through my work as a care worker in residential care homes for people with dementia in Scotland in 1996.  I went on from there to join the dementia research team at the University of Stirling in 2000 and have remained as an academic member of staff within the Faculty of Social Sciences since then. I have a background in natural sciences and psychology and currently work mainly with the disciplines of gerontology and dementia studies.
My research interests focus on improving the lives of people with dementia and their carers through research that engages directly with individuals. To date my work has included research on social policy and services for people with dementia; policy and service issues for people with alcohol related dementia; comparative studies of day services; the impact of physical activity, the use of assistive technology and the experiences of frontline health and social care staff.  My core interests are about culture and lifestyle; exploring how different factors influence individual experiences of dementia. I have broad skills in social research with a specialist interest in user-participation in research utilising qualitative approaches.
As senior lecturer within the Faculty Social Sciences I take a leading role in teaching within the faculty. The Dementia Studies teaching team provides a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.  We teach health and social work professionals from all over the world, developing their specialist knowledge about dementia and dementia care.

Daciana Toma

Sunt medic primar de medicină de familie, în Bucuresti, secretar al SNMF și al AMFB. Din 2015 sunt coordonator al grupului de lucru de diabet, nutriție si boli metabolice al SNMF. 
Preocuparea față de diabet a început în 2002, o dată cu intrarea în grupul care a redactat ghidul “ Managementul DZ tip 2 la adult în practica MF” (CNSMF). Pe parcursul celor 15 ani care au urmat, am participat cu lucrări la numeroase evenimente medicale (congrese, conferinte, simpozioane naționale și internaționale), am publicat articole medicale, am participat în proiecte de formare medicală.
Din 2010 sunt referent al cursurilor de pe platforma medicală formaremedicala.ro.
Cred că pregătirea nostră continuă este esențială, pentru că știința medicală este „un organism viu”, într-o perpetuă schimbare.
Interesul pentru îngrijirea pacientului vârstnic, în special a celui cu boala Alzheimer, a crescut în momentul în care nu am mai fost doar medic de familie pentru astfel de pacienți ci am devenit și „apartinator”. A fost momentul în care mi-am dat seama cât de descoperiți suntem în fața acestei afecțiuni care devasteaza viața pacientului și familiei.
Pacientul cu BA are de cele mai multe ori și alte afecțiuni care necesită o atenție sporită.
Pacientul cu BA este o provocare, un puzzle cu foarte multe piese, nu doar pentru medic ci și pentru familie. Pacientul cu BA nu poate fi îngrijit doar de un anumit medic, are nevoie de o echipă de îngrijire. Medicul de familie poate fi liantul, poate fi cel care se asigură că fiecare piesă a puzzle-ului e pusă acolo unde trebuie. Este o provocare, dar satisfacțiile pot fi foarte mari!
