When discussing the future of dementia advocacy we can't ignore brain health. “We must get to the point where people who are worried about their health associate what they eat, how they exercise & how they live as being connected to their brain health” WDC executive director Lenny Shallcross. #35AEC

Richard Angell notes: the original HIV advocates are no longer with us, but their legacy lives on. Their work shifted the focus of advocacy from a death sentence to prevention. Dr Pike reflects on similar progress with cervical cancer. Two important examples to learn from. #35AEC

At #35AEC @richardangell.bsky.social from the Terence Higgins Trust made a powerful point in our session: "Not acting on Alzheimer’s is the ultimate economic" failure. The global cost of dementia is a clear call to action for governments to invest in diagnostics and treatments.
