Great to see our paper published- we are reflecting on user-led research on the visibility of dementia. It was one of several user-led projects funded by @Innov_Dementia Dementia Enquirers #dementiaresearch #coresearch #userled #livedexperience @NRS_NDN mdpi.com/1660-4601/21/4…
Just a week to go 'til our new book comes out! @Innov_Dementia "People with Dementia at the Heart of Research" explores how research was co-produced through The Dementia Enquirers Model Pre-order at uk.jkp.com/products/peopl…

Do you live with #dementia and identify as Black African or Caribbean? @n_aker_ is conducting research to support people with dementia and carers from minority ethnic groups, and would love to hear from you. For more information, please email Narin Aker at [email protected].

Support us: https://t.co/WLDm5tLTFbThis call was part of one of the most harrowing but powerful radio phone-ins I’ve ever done. Thank you to Ron, Victoria, Janice and everyone else who shared their story. The lack of support for unpaid carers and the way the DWP is going after some of them is absolutely shameful.
"I was eating dog food to survive." Caller Ron, who was a full-time carer for his late wife, tells @BenKentish that Rishi Sunak's pledge to bring those on long-term sick pay back into work will lead to 'more ex-carers committing suicide'.
Our chair @Voa1234 on #bbqt tonight on why we need to ensure people unable to work due to illness get the right support - for their wellbeing, for our economy and for our NHS.
“The language that we use… even in the question ‘Do we have a sick note culture?’ It’s cruel” Chair of the NHS Confederation Victor Adebowale says the use of “performative” language needs to stop, and the government should show more "compassion" #bbcqt bbc.in/4b8DVY2

I want to thank everyone that I have worked with at @NHSEngland and my brilliant @Pers_Care & @NHSEnglandCHS teams for all the dedication and support over the years - wonderful and brilliant people who have always focused on improving outcomes for others
@ColinSlasberg We need both. That’s what this work is about. Paying attention to our language exposes the structures, assumptions, segregation etc that fuel current systems and opens up conversations about the need for wider change.
Language matters. It shapes the way we think, feel and behave. Tell us about the words you’d like people to think twice about using in #SocialCare ⬇️ @angelacatley @SianCommCats @tricianicoll @AnnaSeverwright @clentonF @CoProIsaac @SibthorpKate @IanMcCreath @martindavidwal2
Do you want to work with us to shift the narrative around care and support❓ We're working with @BryonyShannon to update our Jargon Buster and flag words we feel don't belong in a human approach to care and support. That's where you come in... 1/2
The Making Our Voices Heard group via @socfuture @incontrolorg had a great meeting yesterday planning & sharing how to build powerful influence in shaping the future of social care. No more events, reviews, articles, policies etc about people without them! Watch this space

There’s so much correction inside grief, it can be hard to feel that anything is helpful. Most things offered as “support” in our culture are really designed to solve problems or to get you out of pain. Grief is not a problem to be solved; it’s an experience to be carried. #MedEd

Just a week to go 'til our new book comes out! @Innov_Dementia "People with Dementia at the Heart of Research" explores how research was co-produced through The Dementia Enquirers Model Pre-order at uk.jkp.com/products/peopl…
@alzheimerssoc My mother in law has dementia. This is framed as hard hitting but I found it upsetting. It is wrong to say that someone has died when they haven’t. It sets back older people’s and disabled people’s rights. We should be offering individuals and families hope not despair.
That was me! Hustings are an essential part of an election - where people get to ask questions & get commitments. Sometimes there will be unavoidable situations meaning candidates cannot make hustings but it should not be the norm.
Event starts with an announcement from Svetlana Kotova, saying 4 candidates were invited today, only 1 has come to our hustings. 3 sent replacements from their parties to speak on their behalf. This is worrying for our democracy ahead of GE. #LondonMayoral2024 #NoMoreNoShows
