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.

I have read "British Fish" about a hundred times this morning. What an absurd notion it is to apply a nationality to a creature solely based on its location when you kill it.
The same people effectively handing a British passport to a haddock are the ones that want the dinghies turned around!

Brilliant- Normal People!!
A few pearls from day 1 of #AGoodLifeWithDementia in Brough East Yorks. J: it was, ‘nice to open up and not feel stupid and not be laughed at… we often get defensive but it’s been nice to be with normal people!’
Such a privilege once again, to witness people with dementia coming together for the first time feeling safe to pipe up without feeling stupid or that they'll be interrupted or corrected or struggle to get the right words out - a space to get a word in edgeways! @louiseheatley.bsky.social
