Recently, my friends have been trying to motivate me to tell me that I should consider writing and researching about the quality of life as a full time job. I had recently been feeling as if my work was being largely unnoticed, compared to the usual players who frequent the conferences and the limelight. So […]
The references are given as below. This will give you a good flavour of the topics I wish to cover in my final book. I am honoured that the Forewords to my book will be written by Prof Sube Banerjee, Chair in Dementia at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Lisa Rodrigues and Lucy Frost. […]
I am delighted that Prof John Hodges has been honoured in this year’s #AAIC2015. John took a major rôle in guiding me over my own Ph.D. thesis at the University of Cambridge on the M.B./Ph.D. programme under Prof Tim Cox. He is an unique individual in every sense. John is a very generous man with […]
In the penultimate chapter in my book, I provide a reasoned case why people living with dementia should be given a chance to articulate details of ‘policy’. Virtually all of us who attended the event (“A conversation with Kate and Shibley” described in this previous blogpost of mine on this blog) found the afternoon ‘inspiring’ […]

I don’t like it when Big Charity does not disclose that a document promoting early diagnosis of dementia, without calling for better resources for workforce training or post-diagnostic support, was sponsored by a drug company. Conflicts […]

Foreword by Kate Swaffer, Chair Dementia Alliance International (@KateSwaffer) It is my great honour and a real privilege to have been asked to write a Foreword for this very important book.
