I’ve spent the morning working with @alzheimerssoc Trustees, people with dementia and Trustees with dementia, improving the design of our Board papers for everyone who uses them. @chris40781 @KateLeeCEO @FiCarragher @AlzSocDemVoice we’re all going to appreciate the results.

New research shows 1.7 million people could be living with dementia in England and Wales by 2040. That’s over 40% more than previously thought. This is a stark reminder that, without action, the individual and economic devastation caused by dementia shows no sign of stopping.

I love this Dara. We get a lot of questions about how we involve people with dementia, carers and other partners in co-designing our services. This is a lovely example.

“This opens up an entirely new avenue of treatment for brain diseases like Alzheimer’s which affect deep brain structures.” @nir_grossman (UK DRI at Imperial) on his new non-invasive brain stimulation technique. More in @Daily_Express⬇️ express.co.uk/life-style/hea…

Deep brain stimulation without surgery could ease Alzheimer's memory symptoms

The technique usually involves implanting electrodes into the brain tissue but a new method delivers stimulation via a headset.

It’s common knowledge that Alois Alzheimer gave his name to Alzheimer’s disease. But few people know about the African scientist who worked alongside him. Or of the challenges Black people with dementia face now. #BlackHistoryMonth bit.ly/3S5OQvj

In shock to hear that Tony Husband has passed away from a heart attack 😢 he's done phenomenal work to raise awareness of #Dementia, and we were incredibly excited to welcome him to Liverpool next week. Very sad news 😞 bbc.com/news/uk-england-lanc…

We won’t allow people with dementia living in care homes to fall to the bottom of the pile. Care home residents are real people, not just numbers. Here is why we are campaigning to the government for daily coronavirus data on care homes: alzheimers.org.uk/news/2020-…

Why Alzheimer's Society is campaigning for daily coronavirus data from care homes

The worldwide impact of coronavirus has been devastating. Lessons must be learned, and the vulnerability of people living in residential care homes needs to be recognised by Government.

I just heard from one of our amazing @alzheimerssoc Dementia Advisers who’d been delivering food parcels to a 97-year-old man, living alone with dementia, because he’d been trying to survive on cereal. At a time like this, charities are providing life-or-death support.
