About this Broadcast

-

Natalie learns about dementia care, which proves to be one of the most emotional weeks of her course so far. She takes part in an immersive experience designed to disorientate and confuse - giving a sense of what it's like to have the disease - and talks to her agent Scott, who was married to her former EastEnders colleague Barbara Windsor, and how he looked after her as the disease took over. Finally she puts her learning into practice on a special placement at the Royal British Legion's Poppy Lodge dementia unit
