Great to join @AlzResearchUK in Parliament recently for their #DementiaUnseen event, celebrating the voices of over 67,000 people who’ve called for those affected by dementia to have the right to an early and accurate diagnosis. 🧡🧠

Drug maker Novo Nordisk has announced that its weight-loss drug semaglutide doesn’t slow memory or thinking decline in people with early Alzheimer’s. This is disappointing news for those affected by the disease.

I've written about my thoughts, tangentially to the inquiry, on covid post-mortems. About confident maths, lack of confidence, and whether we should experiment on kids (we should). If I ever write about covid again, assume it's a hostage situation. https://t.co/F25b0jlidP

"If this campaign helps even one person avoid the pain, fear and confusion of a delayed diagnosis, then it’s made a difference.” Yesterday, presenter Anneka Rice helped us deliver our #DementiaUnseen petition straight to Downing Street, alongside our ambassador Scott Mitchell

🧠 We’re setting an ambitious goal: diagnose 92% of dementia patients within 18 weeks of referral by 2029 - up from less than 50% today. From blood tests to AI, research and innovation can transform dementia care, improving lives and easing pressure on the NHS.

A huge thank you to @MRitchieSD for supporting our calls to improve #dementia diagnosis & treatment. Speaking in @UKHouseofLords yesterday, Baroness Ritchie asked when the Government will set an 18-week target for everyone with dementia to get a care plan. #DementiaUnseen
