7 years on my part time doctorate trying to work out how learning happens in dementia care settings and today I had the Eureka moment… I’m so happy that something will come of all this.

The cover of The Lancet with this quote from our commentary: "If we in academic medicine give in to the campaigns against diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, the consequences will include resegregation and fewer opportunities for marginalised groups."

Holy smokes! Our article is on the cover of The Lancet!!!!!!!!!! Nbd 💅

I would have so loved to join this but time zone challenges mean I am unable - PS student at Stirling Uni with a keen interest in this topic - if its recorded I would love it

Care, Connection, and the Machines We Trust? I've been wondering about my ever evolving relationship with AI. It's not just a tool anymore because it's become part of the rhythm of my thinking. We're in a kind of dance. We review research papers...

interesting!

The roots of dementia can start in childhood – prevention should be a lifelong goal It’s never too early – or late – to protect your brain. Research shows dementia prevention could begin as early as childhood.

Wow so interesting thanks for sharing. I’ve been thinking a lot about this. My research is about organisational learning in dementia care so very relevant!

First FDA-cleared Alzheimer's blood test could make diagnoses faster, more accurate The first Alzheimer's blood test cleared by the Food And Drug Administration is poised to change the way doctors diagnose and treat the disease.

In case you missed it: the FDA cleared the first blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s this week.

For too long, Americans have struggled to get a simple and accurate diagnosis. This action is a step toward earlier, less invasive detection, which can lead to better access to care and treatment.

Thx Neil

I'm reintroducing myself and looking to make new connections. I'm passionate about the intersection of dementia, workforce development, and technology. A couple of years ago, I made the bold move to emigrate to NZ and have been on a lengthy 7-year doctorate journey, but I'm almost finished!

The FDA has scrubbed from its website guidance on conducting medical trials with representative numbers of men/women and racial/ethnic minorities. these aren't symbolic issues. Drugs affect men/men, people with different genetic backgrounds differently. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/medic...

📈 Data It’s everywhere. It’s political 🗳️, unruly 🤯, and sometimes even a threat to human rights.

💡Behind every data point, every sensor reading, is a person.

This blog is about keeping that perspective as we navigate the growing role of data in dementia care
