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

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
