Fantastic month!
If the #PPI activities of the Dementia Research Advisory Team look flawless and professional it is because they work tirelessly and give so generously. It is a pleasure to support them and a joy to see them ever accomplishing in the dementia research space.
April has been an exciting month for Person Public Involvement (#PPI) activities! Between co-delivering lectures in UCC and RCSI, presenting to the Dementia Advisor service, submitting conference abstracts and engaging with politicians in Leinster House it has been all go!

There is a consistent lack of female voices on @TonightVMTV
We can’t lament the level of female representation in politics without examining the lack of female voices on political media. @women4election @NWCI

Well done to the Emer and Kevin for this work. It's their first official #PPI engagement and they are flying it!
When the Dementia Research Advisory Team first started in 2019, we only ever met in person. Nowadays, we meet more and more online which, excitingly, allows us to collaborate with researchers not just here in Ireland but internationally also! #PPI #DementiaResearch

This is fantastic news! What a huge step in the right direction for equitable access European-wide to DMT!

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland welcomes the decision by the European Medicines Agency to recommend Leqembi for licensing approval. This follows a re-examination of an earlier decision to not recommend the therapy for approval. We are another step closer to seeing Disease Modifying Therapies for early-stage Alzheimer’s Disease becoming available in the European Union and are optimistic that the European Commission will follow the EMA’s recommendation.
