Trump’s description of #LasVegas killer as ‘demented’ is offensive & wrong. Don’t add to stigma of #dementia. Must choose language carefully

Officially my last day on @EPICTrial Where has time gone?!

[EPIC Trial @EPICTrial]

This morning, our Trial Management Group are discussing health economics, the publication plan & the 100,000 word monograph we're writing.

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

Almost 6000 words written about the impacts the @EPICTrial Managers perceived DCM to have on their homes - our Managers have a lot to say!

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

@SpillersK: Care Home staff turnover is particularly high - something we found problematic for intervention delivery (DCM) on @EPICTrial!

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

Applications now open for a #postdoc research fellow working on the MRC methodological bolt-on to @EPICTrial!

Our statistics team have started doing data analysis for the trial - today we got a sneak peak at some of the care home demographic info!

[Alys Griffiths @alysgriffiths_]

Even though we finished data collection there over a year ago, one of our @EPICTrial care homes invited us to their summer BBQ today.
