This conversation about living well with dementia as Nancy Russo talks to Gaynor Macdonald and Jane Mears about the vision behind Dementia Reframed. Dementia Reframed was set up in 2015 to reframe attitudes to dementia and to care. The publication of Dementia as Social Experience (Routledge 2019) became an early outcome and they have since established a NFP so as to reach out to more people impacted by dementia to enhance the knowledge and communication skills required to live well. Dementia Reframed’s core team have lived experience of dementia care. They know what is needed and what needs to change to hold people living with dementia in a quality life.

September is Dementia Awareness Month and from 20-26 September 2021 it is Dementia Action Week, with 21st of September - World Alzheimer's Day.

AAG are delighted to highlight the work of Dementia Reframed in Dementia Action Week 2021, particularly as Assoc.Prof Jane Mears is a long-time member of AAG. Nancy Russo engages Jane and Dr Gaynor Macdonald to draw out their visions for changing attitudes surrounding dementia and enhancing care and support.

Their message for Dementia Action Week: Dementia is a disease NOT a death sentence! There are wonderful strategies available to help all those impacted - we just need to learn about them and use them. We are not afraid of dementia! We know that when we get dementia support ‘right’, we will have changed our world for the better and for us all. Dementia is our challenge to change and our inspiration.
