Prof Claudia Cooper

Last week, members of the #denpruQM team took part in a 'Long Table' workshop with communities and service providers in @towerhamletsnow.bsky.social.

We explored how we can better support people with memory loss to have a stronger voice in research, service design, & commissioning.

A close up of text on the piece of paper. People have written 'learning disabilities', inequalities', 'dental services', 'community', 'new drugs' and 'dementia prevention'.

Other discussion topics included prevention, diagnosis and treatment, workforce development, and care services.

Thank you to everyone who took part to shape more inclusive, community-driven approaches to dementia prevention and care.
