I'll never be another Alfred Hitchcock but I certainly had fun interviewing staff and residents at my Chair Chi sessions.

Ray, a friend of mine from the Knox Photographic Society, brought his cameras along and did the technical side of things while I ran the workshop and conducted the interviews.

I'm producing a short promotional clip on Chair Chi - with permission from the two major aged care centres where I run Chair Chi workshops for residents.

Now the fun begins - editing several hours into a 3-5 minute clip!

Here's a quiz for those who work in aged care.

What's the one word, beginning in E, has 8 letters, that can wipe a smile off a resident's face?

I'll reveal the answer in the next issue and discuss how I try to avoid the E word as much as I can.

Ideal for lifestyle staff, physiotherapists, carers, diversional therapists, volunteers and health trainers.

This comprehensive training program teaches you how to deliver Chair Chi sessions for low and high care residents in a safe and practical way.

Here's what one aged care staff member recently said about Chair Chi when she ran it for the first time for her residents.
'Our residents are enjoying their new Chair Chi sessions and are very enthusiastic - they look forward to exercises on a Thursday and are seen performing some of the skills when walking up the corridor'!
