Co-production has always been at the heart of our work in #dementia. Our @rachaellitherland.bsky.social said this recently about co-production, as part of @spindnetworkplus.bsky.social It's not easy, it's not perfect, it's about mistakes, relationships and values.

Isnt it just. For the cost of treating two people with lecanemab you could employ an admiral nurse and I know what would have greatest impact out of the two.

Absolute envy for my 16 year old who finished his GCSEs today, has gone to the beach and is tormenting his little sister with the fact of eleven and a half weeks of summer holiday. I’ll wait a few days to bring out the list of jobs!
