@alzheimerssoc colleagues at #UKDC23 with partners from Medic Alert and Thames Valley Police discussing keeping people with dementia safe. As many as 40,000 people with dementia become missing people each year. #herbertprotocol
Soeren Mattke #33AEC says that in England we need to spend £13.8bn over the next decade to be ready for new treatments. @markjamesmacd @alzheimerssoc what might the price of underinvestment be? A 10 year wait for treatment!
@chris40781 and @stephaniedaley reminds us that @Time4Dementia means students learn dementia from books and know people with dementia by spending time with them. @AlzSocDemVoice and knowledge, attitudes, comfort and empathy improve.
Kevin Quaid reminds us to look for the new voices, those we aren’t involving @AlzSocDemVoice because research will be better and lives will change. #33AEC
In Finland, dementia is being treated as a chronic condition, like diabetes. A model for the UK? #33AEC
@AlzSocDemVoice Katy Keyhani tells us that in Wakefield when it comes to dementia “we are one”. Great example of health, social, voluntary sectors and people with dementia working together to drive improvement.
Bill Gillespie @WessexAHSN delivers a great reminder that research and adoption need to overlap to accelerate implementation. Great day #ARCAgeDem
