@welcomebreak Abington Services has no functioning toilets. Not a great look.

[Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice @AlzScotCPP]

@dr_shibley Agree. Spending time watching the diversity of ageing and reactions to ageing is incredible. The current 70-100 year olds are redefining how ageing is lived.

Lovely work by us ❤️

[UWS BSc Paramedic Science @UWSParamedic]

This week has seen our Paramedic Science students get a better understanding of how to support patients with dementia. Mindful of patient experiences and perspectives. As well as the difficulties faced in assessing and managing medical emergencies with those living with dementia

[Young Dementia Network @YoungDemNetwork]

This free online seminar series exploring how #dementia intersects with work is running until February 2026.

Advance care planning is vital in dementia, yet often missed. Nurses can lead these conversations, ensuring care reflects values & preferences, as discussed in our latest CPD article @Susan_hol1 Morna Miller @SheeranMaryAnne @NHSaaa https://t.co/TevEbTVRjP

I am pleased to share that my co-authored article, "Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices of Health and Social Care Professionals on Dementia Care in a Tertiary Care Hospital, Bangladesh," has been published by the Sir Salimullah Medical College Journal.

What new photos would you like to see in our age-positive image library?

The photos show a more realistic depiction of ageing – to help challenge stereotypes of older people. The library, which contains over 3,000 images and is regularly updated, is available for anyone to use for free.

Browse and download from the collections here: https://t.co/ghMPgOCdiI
