A key highlight of the day was the launch of INSPIRE, Rotherwood’s shared language for everyday life in its homes. The conference encouraged leaders to reflect on perspective, responsibility, and trust, and to rethink how ordinary days can become more meaningful for the people who live with Rotherwood.
The conference was further enriched by keynote speaker Ian Donaghy, a respected author, storyteller, and dementia care advocate. Ian’s engaging and thought-provoking session reminded attendees of the importance of always seeing the person, not the condition, and inspired leaders to continue leading with empathy, compassion, and purpose.
As Rotherwood Healthcare looks ahead, the conference marked an exciting step forward. With INSPIRE now embedded into leadership thinking, the organisation is looking forward to 2026 and the next chapter in its ongoing commitment to exceptional, person-centred care.
