Jimmy Pollard talks about his experiences and imparts lessons to apply to HD caregiving.

In 1986, Jimmy Pollard, a special education teacher by training, found himself managing a specialist unit in a nursing home. Unaware of Huntington’s disease, he rejected for admission a young woman living with it. Her mother gently persuaded him to reconsider and admit her daughter. So began his career working with folks and family touched by HD. Jimmy became interested in how HD’s cognitive changes challenge both people living with it and their carers, and how care settings can accommodate the unique needs of people with HD. Walking beside Tony, Geri, Carol, Karen, John and Barbara as they travelled their HD roads for 15 years, he began to learn how these changes challenged them every moment and how they went about coping with them. He learned that listening to families and collaborating with professional colleagues is essential to better understanding and, most importantly, to improved care. In the intervening years, Jimmy has written “A Caregiver’s Handbook for Advanced Stage Huntington’s Disease” and “Hurry Up & Wait! A Cognitive Care Companion for Huntington’s Disease,” which have been translated into eight languages by national HD associations around the world, and has spoken at national HD meetings in Australia, England, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, Poland, Scotland, Canada, and the United States.

Tuesday, April 14 - 3:30 pm The amazing, incredible, fantastic Jimmy Pollard is going to be with us tonight.  Jimmy has quite a speaking schedule these days and is on a mission to educate about clinical trials, namely Enroll HD (http://www.enroll-hd.org/), which is a worldwide observational study for Huntington’s disease families. This study will monitor how the disease appears and changes over time in different people, and is open to people who either have HD or are at-risk. Monitoring people over time in a real-world setting contributes to scientific knowledge. The study is designed to accelerate the discovery and development of new therapeutics for HD. Jimmy says, "No volunteers for studies, no more advances in the quest for a cure!" Enroll-HD Also find Jimmy's book on Lulu: "Hurry Up and Wait: A Cognitive Care Companion" (http://bit.ly/1DCUJmO) This book will give you a set of exercises to simulate the cognitive difficulties faced by those with HD, a collection of tips to accommodate them in your home or care home, a strategy to develop new approaches to solving care problems and commentary on common problems faced by family carers and those they love. Tune in and let's catch up with our most favorite man on the stand, Jimmy Pollard!
