When discussing the future of dementia advocacy we cannot ignore brain health. “We must get to the point where people who are worried about their health associate what they eat, how they exercise & how they live as being connected to their brain health” - lennyshallcross #35AEC

tommy dunne BEM 💙 Steep learning curve at first in assault safeguarding and how rubbish it can be compared to C P work, then good support from @elderabuseuk @CCCBuryStEd SafeLives and being a Warrior,never let them fob you off with poor standards

tommy dunne BEM 💙 @elderabuseuk @CCCBuryStEd SafeLives I meant Adult safeguarding! Slip of the tweet !

EagleEyes tommy dunne BEM 💙 @elderabuseuk SafeLives But, totally agree. Never let them fob you off. We will all be old and frail one day so this should be a concern for everybody- but for the grace of God.....

Dance and exercise simply because both are activities that promote health as well. #diversealz

Real life experiences across board #diversealz. People resonate with stories. Just tell them leaving sensationalism in the trash can of laptop!

Looking forward to welcoming Mencap and other partner organisations to The RCN today to launch the 'Treat Me Well' campaign. We must continue working together to ensure everyone with a learning disability gets the high quality and holistic care they deserve.

Seen bowls, imagine taking a traditional cooking utensil or ingredient to a person with dementia living in a home such as a calabash or banana leaves and other items along that line. #diversealz

What the papers are saying: Portsmouth College has become 1st school to teach Hinglish (combination of Hindu & English) to help students should they wish to conduct business with Indian companies in the future.

Talking about impact of dementia on women, there is still much to be done. Stressful situations for many women who have to multitask. Also, expectations and this applies to many women from Minority Ethnic backgrounds. #diversealz

Income also an issue so lots to think about ...juggling. #diversealz
