Deji Soyinka discussing behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia as the great mimic. Many individuals who develop bvFTD as a young onset dementia have been given other diagnoses first, including depression and bipolar disorder. #ScotOAForensic21 @RCPsychScot @PsychDrJo

Live in Scotland?
Have you seen the Scotland version of Knowledge is Power?
Available in Scots Gaelic.
We need to think about another print run, but wonder if any partners want to come on board, also what have we missed? Email Niblock@myid.org.uk

Very interesting to highlight possible impact of stroke on taste and smell. May be an explanation of why some people change food and drink preferences after stroke, eg lifelong tea drinker now only wants coffee.

We have a great new blog post to share today putting the spotlight on taste & smell disorders following stroke in conjunction with our clinical expert @FifthSenseUK perceptionpioneer.wordpress.…

Today we held our 1st #LivedExperience advisory recruitment panel. Here's what our panellists had to say:
“To be included in things like this gives you back a sense of self-worth"
“It is a privilege, it’s wonderful – can’t thank you enough, it’s been a joy” The privilege is ours!
