A simple blood test for dementia could revolutionise diagnosis and lead to better support, care and treatment. The Blood Biomarker Challenge seeks to get a blood test into the NHS and I’m so proud @alzheimerssoc @AlzResearchUK @PostcodeLottery are making this happen #dementia

A new @alzheimerssoc survey highlights the staggering price unpaid carers pay to provide the bulk of vital care to loved ones. Family and friends are the backbone of support for people living with dementia.

Just received a hard copy of this - it is an excellent read. Would highly recommend for those working in both health or social dementia care. The use of quotes and case studies to reaffirm points makes for powerful story telling. Well done Sue and Elizabeth. #DementiaLGBTQ+

Becoming forgetful doesn't always mean you have dementia. There can be many causes of memory loss.
Know what to do if you’re worried about your memory or #dementia @alzheimerssoc
and do talk to your health professional if you’re concerned about your memory loss symptoms

🚨Last week, the House of Lords passed the Carers Leave Bill which will now become law.
This Bill gives every person in the UK the right to a week of unpaid leave from work to provide or organise care for a loved-one.
