Created Out of Mind

Exploring, challenging and shaping perceptions of dementias through science, stories and the creative arts.

[Created Out of Mind @createdhub]

On #DementiaActionWeek2019 we're thinking about the power of music to enrich the lives of people with dementias, those that care for them & for us all!

What better week to catch up on the powerful doc we worked on with @Vicky_McClure? https://t.co/wP1O51GKP6 #ourdementiachoir

Saw a fab screening of @Harrison_CR film 'The Neva' this week, created as part of the @TestingSituati1 project w/ @createdhub. The film explores cross over between #cognitive tests for #dementia & #art. How do our brains perceive the world? Info: https://t.co/iuaNcVPmuj #SciArt

For #DementiaActionWeek we want to hear all about people's experiences of testing. What does it feel like to be in a testing situation? How helpful is it to get results or a diagnosis? Can tests ever be enjoyable? Would you rather test someone or be given a test? #DAW2019

[Testing Situations @TestingSituati1]

What are some of the things that could be done to adapt and improve the ways we assess one-another? #DementiaActionWeek #DAW2019 @RareDementia @createdhub @DementiaVoices @happytandemer @PaulCamic @tshakey @embrotherhood @cjdhardy @cathmummery
