Dementia Detectives

#Dementia does not rob people of their dignity, our reaction does #dementiadetectives #WiseWords

Calling all UK teachers! We'd like to understand more about #dementia education in schools - please help us out & complete this short survey. bradford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/dementia-educa…

Over 100 students have attended our workshops in Monash University Malaysia this week. It’s been fantastic to raise dementia awareness amongst pharmacy & medical students. We hope this is just the start...

Firstly, we’ve been delivering a Malaysian version of @DemDetectives workshops (developed by @SahdiaParveen) for pharmacy & medical students.

We spent the week raising dementia awareness amongst pharmacy and medical students at @MonashMalaysia . Busted a bunch of myths and started the students down the path of seeing patients as more than just their diagnosis. @DemDetectives

There are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK - but many of us are still dangerously unaware of the facts. This #WorldAlzheimersDay, help us spread the word about the realities of dementia - and put the myths to bed. news.sky.com/story/five-com… #WorldAlzDay @SkyNews

If you're looking for information about young onset #dementia this #WorldAlzheimersDay please visit the @YoungDementiaUK website, It's packed full of info & inspiring personal stories youngdementiauk.org

First day back at work and looking forward to delivering @DemDetectives workshops for new physio students @Health_Bradford @UOB_Physio

Pioneering workshop to educate students on #dementia awareness has been successful in changing misconceptions @DemDetectives @SahdiaParveen ow.ly/srgg30lvC72

As someone living with dementia, social media is a lifeline.....a way of keeping in touch silently at my own speed in my own time........ twitter.com/gdnsocialcare/…

Fantastic #quote from Professor Bob Woods #dementia

The debate on care vs cure research continues...theguardian.com/social-care-ne… What are your thoughts? #dementiaresearch

I know I'm picky and irritate people but i do wish we could see 'behaviour that challenges' as unmet need - you can swap those words around anyway you like but to me it speaks volumes about how you perceive people living with #dementia *jumps off soap box*

New study finds that having a #chat with a person living with #dementia can significantly improve their quality of life #dementiadetectives bbc.co.uk/news/health-42…

Please do not blame everything on #dementia just because a person has a diagnosis. People are still people still feel pain, sadness, grief and loneliness. Be curious and find out why then they may feel happiness, joy and enjoy life. There's always a reason.

Fantastic & so important! Often young people we work with for @DemDetectives think that people with dementia don't really use twitter - research evidence of this would be really helpful! twitter.com/becsta94/statu…
