@Shahid_MoSardar Couldn’t have said it better myself

@BME_Dementia TY for your kind words. Our work is often overlooked despite the difference we've made, up & down the country, across the nations. We could so much more if we had the lobbying power & access to resources that large mainstream organisations can tap into - inequalities still exist!

Your work also speaks for itself Shahid. A huge thank you for all you have down. Not many can say they have delivered in England, Scotland and Wales. But I share your perspectives re tick boxing in many organisations local and national.

Reflecting on #DementiaActionWeek2024....

Person centred care - NOT tick box exercises. Dementia care & awareness EVERY day of EVERY week, #equity for ALL 💙 #dementiaawarenessweek @BME_Dementia @Shahid_MoSardar

As it's #DementiaActionWeek I thought it'll be useful to re-share my paper/published report 'A Fragmented Pathway'. It's available to download here: tide.uk.net/resources/bame… It's a research document I produced with the help & support from @ProfAnyaAhmed & @InstforDementia

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week 🎉 If you’re needing a little support, here’s who to call ☎️

#DementiaActionWeek .@MeriYaadainCiC have been raising awareness of dementia in South Asian communities first the last 18 years. We can work in Europe, included in national policy, lead research but still fail to influence our local commissioners on the need for support
