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...

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

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

[Mark Cheong @markcheongwl]

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

[Alzheimer's Society @alzheimerssoc]

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.

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........ https://t.co/EtUkbGQKOS

Fantastic #quote from Professor Bob Woods #dementia

[Dementia Detectives @DemDetectives]

The debate on care vs cure research continues...https://t.co/8gnA1A5Qxa What are your thoughts? #dementiaresearch

[Clare Mason 🐥 @Clareycoco]

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*

[Dementia Detectives @DemDetectives]

New study finds that having a #chat with a person living with #dementia can significantly improve their quality of life #dementiadetectives https://t.co/PK8fyHJQi5

[Clare Mason 🐥 @Clareycoco]

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.

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

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! https://t.co/VBzUxKJyWP
