Fantastic to see this important topic highlighted in a plenary session by Prof. Ricardo Nitrini @alzassociation #AAIC21. ‘Traditional’ dementia assessment tools are biased towards Western, educated individuals. One size does not fit all.

[Caragh Maher @CaraghJM]

Check out the poster I'll be presenting at @alzassociation #AAIC21 this week. Delighted to present my findings at my first international conference!

I'm looking for participants for my masters dissertation, which is looking at the lived experience of menopause for autistic people, and how support can be improved. Any retweets would be much appreciated 😊

Excited to release our first ever position statement; bringing together themes from a years (!) worth of webinars, emails, messages and feedback from our work looking at class and the career journey through clinical psychology. #classclinpsych

[Caragh Maher @CaraghJM]

The main findings indicate that individuals who are illiterate are at a significant disadvantage when assessed using traditional dementia screening methods. The findings emphasise the need for the development of tools that are suitable for individuals of all abilities

[Caragh Maher @CaraghJM]

It was a pleasure to present a poster on my meta-analysis on the impact of illiteracy on dementia screening at the #DCPConf2021 this afternoon! The poster will be available to view throughout the day @UKDCP @DcpScotland

[Caragh Maher @CaraghJM]

Such an energising talk from @DrRussHarris this morning at #DCPConf2021, great way to start day 2 of the conference! @UKDCP

This is so important. Science is a life saver and a crucial investment by governments.

1/ It's late, but here's the now annual 🧵 summarising some of the results from the 2020 round of #DClinPsych application reviews for marginalised applicants. I 'publicised' essentially only on Twitter this year & reviewed 22 applications. #ClinicalPsychology

"This emphasis on relationships as a fundamental part of the human experience can inform not just what services do but allow them to focus equally on how they go about doing it."
