@JDementiaCare @PainChek I’m very much looking forward to chairing this event, it should be an interesting and thought provoking presentation on how using innovative technology can transform the lives of people living with #dementia

[Jackie Pool @Jackie_Pool]

@dr_robbrooks I think it also goes in hand with the strange and unhelpful distinction of ‘functional’ and ‘organic’ that is used to differentiate between mental ill health and dementia related conditions. Are people with dementia not also disabled in their everyday function?
