Super chuffed to see the #DementiaInequalitiesModel in the Czech Republic!! 🇨🇿 Thx to Iva and her colleagues for helping organise our joint @BritishAcademy_ workshop on care fragmentation in #dementia!

OPEN FOR RECRUITMENT! Funded by the @BritishAcademy_, we -10 European countries- are looking to speak to you about the disconnect between health&social care services for dementia! Starting in the UK, if you have dementia, are an un/paid carer, health care prof, contact us!

What is the connection between hearing loss and Alzheimer’s Disease? 👂 For #DementiaActionWeek, we spoke to Dr Jenna Littlejohn from @OfficialUoM who is co-leading the ABHAD study, which is looking at hearing and dementia. Read more: news.joindementiaresearch.nihr.ac.uk/hearing-loss-a…

🗞️New paper on how a #dementia Community of Practice - the Liverpool Dementia & Ageing Research Forum - impacts positively on skills, knowledge, networks, and accessing support! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/he…

@Karen46298558 @AlStewartOBE Thank you for sharing your personal experience, it is interesting to hear that our findings are comparable to your lived experience!

@AlStewartOBE Interesting read. My husband has suffered with hearing loss. He was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2021. He was in his early 50's. So I wouldn't be surprised by that at all.

@AlStewartOBE Thank you for sharing our work Alastair it is great to see this research in the public domain!

The UK currently has no #NationalDementiaStrategy. In light of today's much delayed #socialcare reform news, pls show your support by signing & sharing this petition to develop a new National Dementia Strategy! @arc_nwc @NIHRARCs @lbsorg @LivUniEngageHLS petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7036…

@ClarissaGiebel @MeganPolden @AgeUKWirral We are really looking forward to working with Frankii and the team!

Pre-Christmas funding news for our first 2️⃣ funded projects in our NWC Living Lab in Ageing & Dementia, starting in January! Developed with some of our #socialcare members, we'll be looking at unsafe hospital discharges and impact of Dementia Village! @ReadmanRose @MeganPolden

Really looking forward to diving back into the world of #VR to deliver this project with an amazing team @MeganPolden @SarahKateSmith7 @OLuijnenburg @AnnabelFarnood @Lettie_wareing_ !
