Delighted to share that I passed my PhD with minor corrections🎉. Big thank you to my fantastic supervisory team @MedicinesDavid Dr Catherine Quinn Alison Blenkinsopp, colleagues UoBPharmMedSci Dementia at Bradford and to examiners @maidment_dr & Prof Felicity Smith for sharing their expertise and insight.

@DanielJKelleher and I just delivered the first session of our The NIDUS Study intervention to home care workers in Bradford (via Zoom!) Fantastic group working so hard to care for people affected by dementia - excited to talk to them all next week!

We spoke about pending government trial of lateral flow devices for visitor testing in care homes. The decision pathways around these are complex and we do need to understand the complexities before using them at scale. More specific and sensitive approaches may be required.

A paper my Dementia at Bradford MSc #Dementia dissertation student Sarah and I wrote on robotic pets in care homes has been accepted for publication Dementia Community. Introduced me to robotic dogs and cats, which might be good companions for #lockdown2uk plus they wouldn't eat the birds!

Just had a chat with Dad (by accident as he was really ringing the Love of his life Diane Aykroyd) Cannot believe it’s so long since we’ve seen him. Such a huge gap in all our lives. Take care of him Leeds Teaching Hospitals he’s precious. #74days

A very rainy day so an hour spent watching the world of my garden brought the squirrel who hasn’t given up trying to get into my squirrel proof bird feeders - luckily he went away unsuccessful again 😂

Very interesting session today Alzheimer Europe #AlzAcademy on legal capacity in #dementia . I was reflecting on the challenges of assessing capacity in #dementia & issues around long consent forms and participant information sheets Dementia at Bradford @IDEALStudyTweet The Wolfson Centre for Applied Health Research

We are delighted to share a short video with you from Shamil Mohamed of Sri Lanka, who would have been speaking at #ADI2020’s plenary session ‘The road to awareness & friendliness’. In the video, Shamil shares his journey after receiving a #dementia diagnosis at the age of 54.

The Coronavirus and dementia in care homes study lead researcher, Andrea Capstick, issues a plea for care home staff to receive the same recognition as NHS staff and we launch a campaign to thank them for all they have done during #COVID19 University of Bradford blogs.brad.ac.uk/dementia/lets-…

Looking forward to working with Richard Cheston Dr Karan Jutlla DACE Race Equality Foundation on the #ADAPTstudy Improving #dementiadiagnosis in south Asian families #watchthisspace

We are looking to talk to people living with #dementia from the #bame community about how covid has affected you. Please do get in touch with me if you are interested CULTURE DEMENTIA UK BME Dementia Network DACE Community Action on Dementia Brent Diverse Alzheimers

yes the unsung heros in care homes need recognition as well....

This is something I still need time and space to reflect on. There are positives, but also challenges, to using your personal story as a CEO. As the podcast covers, ultimately could I have lived with myself if I hadn’t?

#COVID19 has put a huge strain on carers - Unpaid carer numbers went from over 9 million to over 13 million in the UK during the pandemic #LiverpoolDementia Dr Warren Donnellan

This is great news! Deborah Sturdy has long been a champion for what nursing can bring to social care. This is good for a beleaguered sector and hopefully a harbinger of a better 2021.
