@SianBlackham @alzheimerssoc Ah thanks so much. I’m blushing. I’m going to miss you all but will maintain a healthy interest in what you’re up to. Keep fighting the fight. 👍
@samuelevolpe - Hedley Smith is from Newcastle, now living in Spain. His mum, from Hexham, has dementia. I’m sure he’d be delighted to talk to you. PM me if interested or email me at [email protected] https://t.co/EAHWDGgUAc
@alzheimerssoc@cmkendall71@JeremyCooke1@stefildes Thank you so much for your ground-breaking work on this story. You've done Bill, Jo - and everyone at Alzheimer's Society - proud. And, as Bill says, the fight to fix our broken social care system goes on.
It’s almost 4 years since Boris Johnson promised to “fix social care”. Now the Tory government is reneging on that promise. It’s an utter disgrace. Social care workforce funding halved for England, government confirms - BBC News https://t.co/V4pT4eXw7G
Huge thanks to Bill Wilson, of Jesmond, for his tireless work keeping dementia in the public eye. @alzheimerssoc Jo Wilson legacy: 'I want the world to talk about dementia' - BBC News https://t.co/Ilq65pC0lq
There are 900,000 people with dementia in the UK. Many are facing devastating isolation this winter as the cost of living has left them stranded in their own homes and having to choose between heating or getting the care they need.
Today’s exciting #lecanemab results offer our best hope yet for not only delaying symptom progression for people with early stage Alzheimer’s, but, significantly, slowing the loss of quality of life for them and their carers. @RichJamesOakley explains from #CTAD22.
Welcome to our new PM, @RishiSunak. We look forward to working with you on behalf of the 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK.
Please ensure dementia remains a priority by delivering the 10-year plan for dementia, social care reform, & the National Dementia Mission.
