I was really lucky to sit down with the brilliant @AnnaRichardso during her work on Love, Loss and Dementia and chat through the issues she was uncovering. The stories told in that programme showed first hand why we need change.
While filming Anna Richardson: #LoveLossAndDementia, @Annarichardso sat down with Tim, our Head of Local Systems Influencing. Ahead of the #Budget2024 this week, Tim shares how dementia not being prioritised means health & social care services can't properly support people.

Morning from a cloudy London! Reflecting on government yesterday pledging to ramp up training on dementia for those in ASC - a crucial step, driven by our call to enable appropriate support at home for people living with dementia and their carers. Not a bad hotel view either!

Only 29% of adult social care staff have dementia training. That is not good enough. Thank you @Jenny4SuffCoast for raising dementia in the Commons today, we warmly welcome Minister @SKinnock reply, committing to ramping up dementia training for the adult social care workforce.

Dementia is the UK’s forgotten crisis, happening behind closed doors up and down the country. We’re opening those doors and bringing the reality of dementia into the light. If we all speak up, they’ll have to listen. #DementiaBehindClosedDoors

Privileged to have met with Anna and the fabulous team who put this together so brilliantly and considerately. It speaks to all of the topics and issues I see in my job everyday. Please watch and help us make a difference for the future
For over a year, l've been working on something really personal. My Dad has dementia and we’re losing him. Please watch Anna Richardson: Love, Loss and Dementia @Channel4 on Oct 2 10pm. Dementia is the UK's biggest killer, and yet no one’s talking about it. Let’s change that.
