We're sending our best wishes to Bruce Willis and his family, following his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.

Speaking publicly about his diagnosis will help so much to shine further light on the condition, for which we are hugely thankful. 1/3 https://t.co/tf33h4UTdU

Loved being part of this podcast and conference with @HammondCare you may well not agree with my view - but how will history judge us without us trying to make a fresh start #brainhealth @brainhealthscot

[AHPDementia @AhpDementia]

[Dementia Centre @dementiacentre]

By developing a greater understanding of how dementia impacts the person, it can help in understanding why a person may present in a certain way. Considering things from the person's perspective can often help us to better support their needs https://t.co/UU9U7TiOyP

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS.

[Playlist for Life @PlaylistforLife]

When you think of 'throwback' tracks, do songs from your teen/adolescent years come to mind? 🎶

That's because studies show we retain more memories from ages 10-30 than any other time in life. This is called the 'Memory Bump'.

Share a song from yours! 👇

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Very British challenges:

1. Drag the wheelie bin back in without having a peek inside first
2. Place items on a shop counter without saying “just these, please”
3. Pay for petrol without looking back out at the pump
4. End a taxi journey without saying “anywhere here’s fine”
