It can take a long time to persuade someone to consider being tested for dementia. That’s why it is really harsh that the process of diagnosis can take up to 2 years. Most of that time is simply waiting time. The pressure on NHS services is massive. I’ve written about this in this weeks blog. Now read on❤️ to see a new solution.

🎙️ Introducing Inside Dementia: Expert Dialogues

A new podcast series from Dementia Research UK, hosted by leading dementia expert coach and author Prof. June Andrews

Each episode goes beyond headlines to explore what dementia means for diagnosis, treatment, care and everyday life for people living with dementia and their loved ones.

The conversations will feature people and partners at the forefront of change.

In our first episode, we spoke with Gerri McHugh, director of My Life Films. A UK based charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by dementia through research backed on-demand autobiographical film and TV content, that celebrates individual stories, helps strengthen family bonds, and supports carers.

During this episode, Gerri shares ⤵

👉 The background and mission of My Life Films and the My Life TV service
👉 Why traditional TV can be problematic for people living with dementia
👉 How personalised, co-produced content can help improve wellbeing and enhance relationships.
👉 Why research in to the efficacy of My Life TV is at the heart of the service and those they serve
👉 How ongoing funding is helping to deliver a more accessible and meaningful service for people living with dementia, family and carers.

If you’re working in research, health and social care, or supporting someone living with dementia, this series is for you.

Inside Dementia: Expert Dialogues is coming soon.
