Today marks 10 years since we began matching participants with dementia studies they can take part in. 🥳 As we celebrate our 10th birthday, we'll spend the next 2 weeks looking ahead at 10 reasons to be hopeful for the future of dementia research. news.joindementiaresearch.nihr.ac.uk/10-reasons-to-…

Two years have passed and now I am a viva voce examiner instead of a candidate. Well done for Supakorn for successfully defend his thesis. Now you are a double doctors like me! Four hours session; absolutely knackered now. #viva #phdone #ACP

@SixsmithJudith @Ekkapop

AI is still a tool. Human relationships still needs to be built over time for #ACP that reflects people’s needs.

We’re excited to launch new research priorities for palliative and end of life care👇 In partnership with the @LindAlliance, @UCLPsychiatry and others, and co-funded with @ESRC and @mndassoc , we’ve established a refreshed list of research priorities. Following analysis of data from surveys and a workshop, people with lived experience of end of life care, including healthcare professionals, guided the creation and ranking of these new priorities. Read the blog and report to find out more about the process and priorities, and how they can shape future end of life care research.

@Dan_in_BKK Nope.

Given that yesterday was a public holiday, the PM 2.5 level is probably not caused by cars. Is anyone in the government discussing the problem and working on solutions?

Anyway, I am not going now. Couldn’t be arsed. #inequity #Passportinequality #Passpostprivilege

The visa ritual did not bother me when I was studying/working in Thailand; this is a part of life. Here, it means I need to take a day off, go to Edinburgh, have my eyeballs and fingers scan and wait for the result. The visa also last only 3 months!

Passport inequality is irritating and should be eradicated. Abstract got accepted for a conference in the EU Zone. I need a Schengen visa to enter. VFS website does not allow registration. Cannot contact human/bots for support 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Treatment preferences in Asian contexts are often shaped by relationships and responsibilities toward others, with families supporting individuals to meaningfully participate, even in the presence of physical or cognitive impairments. #hpm #hapc buff.ly/3EkkccM

🚨Just published @Age_and_Ageing our systematic review on #BPSD in acute hospitals. 60% of people with #dementia had BPSD during admission. Linked to pain, #delirium, poor communication, psychotropic med & #caregiver stress @ProfLizSampson @NathanDavies50 doi.org/10.1093/ageing…

The results? We still have a lot to do to assert #PwD human rights.

The last paper from my PhD is out. We used Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis to explore the Scottish Government’s dementia policies and discourses around #ACP. doi.org/10.1016/j.ssah… #dementia #CDA @SixsmithJudith @dbuch17 @linda_mcswiggan @UoDOpenResearch @taypeolc

And another paper is out. We examined how card game can enhance #ACP awareness in Thailand; it does and can be scaled-up. #gamification @Ekkapop @thanarpan @peacefuldeath11 @UoDOpenResearch

Lots of good news when I was on leave. Our abstract has been accepted for the #EAPC2025 conference in Helsinki! @KantheeMD

PS. I also love the journal’s name: Mortality :)

Another accepted paper to celebrate Hogmanay. Oh well, I am not complaining. Thank you the team from the Peaceful Death for their contributions. #ACP #Gamification #PalliativeCare @peacefuldeath11 @thanarpan @Ekkapop
