Over 100 students have attended our workshops in Monash University Malaysia this week. It’s been fantastic to raise dementia awareness amongst pharmacy & medical students. We hope this is just the start...

We spent the week raising dementia awareness amongst pharmacy and medical students at @MonashMalaysia . Busted a bunch of myths and started the students down the path of seeing patients as more than just their diagnosis. @DemDetectives

The debate on care vs cure research continues... https://t.co/8gnA1A5Qxa What are your thoughts? #dementiaresearch

The need for a cure for dementia is pressing, but practical solutions to benefit those with the condition are also vital

I know I'm picky and irritate people but i do wish we could see 'behaviour that challenges' as unmet need - you can swap those words around anyway you like but to me it speaks volumes about how you perceive people living with #dementia *jumps off soap box*

Please do not blame everything on #dementia just because a person has a diagnosis. People are still people still feel pain, sadness, grief and loneliness. Be curious and find out why then they may feel happiness, joy and enjoy life. There's always a reason.

Fantastic & so important! Often young people we work with for @DemDetectives think that people with dementia don't really use twitter - research evidence of this would be really helpful!
