“We’re all in this together” A little bit of joy for Bank Holiday Monday from over 100 people with dementia in #DEEP https://t.co/ue9wCB8GHX 🎶 🎵 ❤️

[Innovations in Dementia @Innov_Dementia]

An important point from @DarrenGrimes77. We have been contacted by insiders and told that many @alzheimerssoc staff are devastated disappointed and distressed by the release of this anomalous damaging and divisive video.

@willygilder01 @alzheimerssoc The first thing an Admiral Nurse said to me was "you can lead a normal life with dementia"

[Charlie Clifford🍊 @CharlieCliffor1]

@willygilder01 @alzheimerssoc It's an illness currently with no cure as we know. You can die living or live dying Painting a bleak picture achieves what? Frighten people Remind them of their fate I lost a parent to a sudden event -Cared for in-laws (dem) over many years.. I know which journey I would choose

[Willy Gilder @willygilder01]

5 I am upset because there are so few positive media portrayals of dementia. Where are the posters showing Ron and Howard running a radio station @Deepnessdement1 or the folk from STAND in Fife producing a CD? So my reality isn't represented 🧵

[Willy Gilder @willygilder01]

Thread
1 I've been thinking more about @alzheimerssoc ad & reaction to it. Some ppl are critical of the 'living well with dementia' idea that I unashamedly advocate for. They say that this shows ppl are wrongly diagnosed and/or don't have dementia 🧵

@ProfRobHoward @PatBroster @BoudicaThe The advert resonated with me.

The only thing I don’t like about this is that I’m not going 😭

Great to see lots of excitement at @LPL_Airport this morning for the first @jet2tweets flights.

Liverpool Airport is getting stronger and it’s great to see ✈️ 🎉

@ProfRobHoward @alzheimerssoc oh please don’t do a negative campaign….loss is such a challenging aspect of AD-and continues day by day. We really need to focus on strengths

[Sarah Holmes @CalmHolmes]

@ProfRobHoward As if people aren’t scared enough already…

[REAL listening is key @SarahReed_MHR]

@ProfRobHoward Surely what people with dementia and their loved ones want is the feeling that there can be hope. They know there’s no cure, but reminding them of their dilemma in such a graphic, emotive and hopeless way seems tantamount to cruelty. AS should know better. @suzysopenheart

[Robert Howard @ProfRobHoward]

@BoudicaThe My guess is that an agency told them a more brutal message played well with focus groups of potential funders/donors.

[Robert Howard @ProfRobHoward]

The Alzheimer’s Society are about to make a terrible mistake with a grim and negative advertising campaign, saying people literally stop living with various losses with dementia. Not only is this a 180 degree reversal of their previous message, it isn’t true. Don’t do it. Please.
