Do you support an LGBTQ+ person living with dementia? If so, Simran would love to speak with you for her UCL Clinical Mental Health MSc project. You do not have to identify as LGBTQ+ to take part. Colleagues, please share widely and with anyone you think might be interested.

Wonderful to see this paper by Ella, Liam and colleagues highlighting families' lack of understanding regarding the diagnosis processes of brain stem death and implications. Well done!!

Honoured and delighted to be co-leading this great Alzheimer's Society For Researchers initiative with Nathan Davies Wolfson Institute of Population Health QMUL Centre for Psychiatry & Mental Health NIHR PRU in Dementia and Neurodegeneration QM we're excited to get started!

Congratulations to the @ NIDUS_study programme PPI group who have been shortlisted as finalists at the Alzheimer's Society's Dementia Involvement Awards. The interventions were co-designed by the PPI group, and they have been vital at every step of the studies. Alzheimer's Society

The smart and curious kids made this Science Event at QMUL very enjoyable - wonderful little chats about brain health with their parents too! @EngageQm
