I’ve spent the morning working with @alzheimerssoc Trustees, people with dementia and Trustees with dementia, improving the design of our Board papers for everyone who uses them. @chris40781 @KateLeeCEO @FiCarragher @AlzSocDemVoice we’re all going to appreciate the results.

New research shows 1.7 million people could be living with dementia in England and Wales by 2040. That’s over 40% more than previously thought.
This is a stark reminder that, without action, the individual and economic devastation caused by dementia shows no sign of stopping.

I love this Dara. We get a lot of questions about how we involve people with dementia, carers and other partners in co-designing our services. This is a lovely example.

Ending the week feeling v excited about the potential digital services to reaching more people affected by dementia & deepen our impact. Thank you to our partners The Public Service Consultants & the 80 plus people affected by dementia who contributed to shaping the roadmap. 💙

My favourite street art in Helsinki. Newly returned to social media after a long break following a trauma. I find spats & mean words stressful, the world has enough sadness. I might not always have happy things to say but I can always be kind x

A great achievement for @APPGDementia @AlzSocCampaigns and the 2,000 voices of lived experience who, together, detail the variation in diagnosis rates in England. The report also includes a comprehensive set of evidence informed recommendations - we need action now. 👇🏻

It’s common knowledge that Alois Alzheimer gave his name to Alzheimer’s disease. But few people know about the African scientist who worked alongside him. Or of the challenges Black people with dementia face now. #BlackHistoryMonth bit.ly/3S5OQvj

In shock to hear that Tony Husband has passed away from a heart attack 😢 he's done phenomenal work to raise awareness of #Dementia, and we were incredibly excited to welcome him to Liverpool next week. Very sad news 😞
