Enjoyable event tonight by @reformscotland @chrisdeerin and @cstreetpartners with @Ivan_McKee. Many questions but good to hear the current govt perspective after 18 years in power, particularly heading into an election year.

Some years I don’t know what to say. It’s 29 now and those dark days are never far from my mind. Spare a wee thought for my hometown of Dunblane today.❤️
I’ve written for the @theipaper on why the decision to remove the dementia diagnosis rate target from NHS plans is so wrong. inews.co.uk/opinion/wes-st…

Dementia affects nearly 1 million people in the UK. It places enormous and growing pressure and costs on the NHS and social care. To fix the fundamentals, we must #MakeDementiaAPriority

Our Head of Policy, Jennifer Keen, had her letter to the editor published in the Observer yesterday. Read below to hear why dementia care reform won’t wait. theguardian.com/theobserver/20…
Enjoyed meeting @sarah4bridgend and talking about how we can get the next Dementia Action Plan in Wales to be ambitious, deliverable and accountable. Looking forward to more conversations.

Head of Policy Jen Keen writes about why we don't need to wait to improve social care. There are tangible, implementable and cost effective changes we can make now to improve social care. Dementia training is one such change, and the consensus behind it is growing all the time.

We were pleased to welcome the Health Minister to our Belfast office today. With dementia cases in NI projected to rise by 51% by 2040, urgent action is needed. We look forward to working with @healthdpt and the SPPG to drive transformation in dementia care and support.
Proud to play a small part as a mentor to some of those on the academy - brilliant programme which is resulting in tangible change.

Productive meeting with Department of Health officials Dr. McBride, Peter Toogood & Mark McGuicken to discuss our report, 'Because We Are Human Too.' We highlighted our policy priorities for social care, mandatory dementia training & advocate to make dementia a priority.
Thank you @ShockatAdam for supporting our call for mandatory dementia training for the adult social care workforce, and asking for time to debate this issue to ensure that care staff have the training they need provide high-quality care and support for people living with dementia
Great article by my brilliant colleague @Ruthbarry84 on why we need to prioritise dementia
