How can we address the underrepresentation of minoritised ethnic groups in dementia research?
We spoke to Dr Natalie Marchant (@uclpsychiatry.bsky.social) about making research practices and recruitment more inclusive.

This summer has been brutal for my family, www.linkedin.com/posts/a-fern.... Grieving Allo, worrying for Trasno still sick, & coping with the thought that if things had been handled differently, there may not have been a fatal outcome.

A month ago, we travelled for my friend’s wedding and my dad’s surgery. When we returned on 17th June, we found Trasno, our healthy, energetic cat, seriously unwell: waiting by the door, struggling to breathe, eyes watery and visibly thinner. Since yesterday, we are genuinely happy and relieved.

What began as caring for my cat became a lesson on the realities of caregiving: demands, isolation, and lack of societal infrastructure to support it. This experience calls for a wider dialogue about care as both a societal priority and a collective responsibility. open.substack.com/pub/albafsan...

We’ve just added an update with the medical results received so far. I’m not re-sharing the campaign link as it attracts scam accounts. If you’d like to support us or catch up on Trasno’s journey, you can find it by searching “Help save our cat Trasno: Urgent treatment needed” on Google. Thank you.

Thank you for the incredible support during what has probably been one the most difficult times I’ve ever faced (and I don’t say that lightly).
Trasno (my cat, my child) is now home and recovering after undergoing major open chest surgery on 27th June.
