Merry Christmas to all my fellow Rotarians. This Christmas, let us all unite together and create impact through the power of giving. Give the Gift of Rotary to the people who are in need and be the #PeopleOfAction

In response to the ongoing situation in #Ukraine, we have developed advice cards for carers, humanitarian agencies, communities & people living with #dementia during times of crisis. These are currently available in English & Ukrainian, with additional languages available soon.

The cause of altered behaviour "is the same for all of us" - they are individual and specific to each person, and are symptoms, not diagnoses. #ADRF2022 #dementia

A/Prof Steve Macfarlane: Human behaviour is complex. Sophisticated application of psychosocial interventions for people with dementia is required to adequately address the underlying cause of symptoms like agitation. Tailored, multi-modal, holistic interventions are key #ADRF2022

‘More specific training of Allied Health staff to implement multi-modal, non-pharmacological interventions supporting behaviour management is needed’ 👏 Prof Steve MacFarlane #BPSD #ADRF2022

Prof Briony Dow: Fantastic summary of knowledge gaps and research priorities in dementia care - with principles to drive research efforts. A powerful call to action for researchers - to work collaboratively (not in competition) to identify and address what is not known! #ADRF2022

Let's work together to improve access, equity, & robust estimates of how many people are impacted by #dementia. Let's also challenge the status quo, together, on what is valued in research and how to work with the dementia community and aged care industry, & policy makers

"Post-diagnostic support can't just be about cost saving it is a human right" - Professor Lee-Fay Low #ADRF2022

Across 5 countries, 78% people with dementia and 65% of carers did not receive a care plan, and 1/3 said that support after diagnosis did not help them with their concerns. This emphasises the need for improved post-diagnostic support ForwardwithDementiaAU doi.org/10.1002/gps.59…
