10.4 million live with #dementia in China.

China’s rapid ageing process is occurring at an early stage of economic development, posing considerable demands on society. Our work with @NuffieldTrust hopes to develop #healthyageing policies to support this growing demographic.

Exacerbated by covid-19, inequalities in #dementia diagnosis remain large across England. Renewed focus on diagnostics is essential to ensure everyone gets access to the treatment, care and support they deserve #DementiaActionWeek2022

[Richard Sloggett @rcsloggett]

To coincide with #DementiaActionWeek @fh_research have published research showing over 300k people with dementia are undiagnosed with big variations across the country. People in more rural areas in particular are being left behind: https://t.co/YNqsT8TUDv

The @DHSCgovuk have stalled their pledge for unlimited visits to care homes amid #COVID19 outbreaks. However mounting evidence shows pandemic #loneliness has contributed to excess morbidity/mortality in the elderly. Risk assessment is key for policy-making.https://t.co/eRnqvmOOTL

Progress towards an effective treatment is slow, and Alzheimer's remains a major health challenge🌎. By 2050,>100million will be living with AD. New research & policy perspectives are essential to find causes of the disease & adequate care for those suffering. #WorldAlzheimersDay

New 🇬🇧#socialcareplan limit costs but lacks a vision for the system. China’s 90-7-3 policy sets bold ambition: support 90% of older people to look after themselves;7% to be supported at home;3% in residential care.#UKCHASCAP seeks to understand what 🇬🇧&🇨🇳can learn from each other
