🎭The power of the #arts and #nostalgia to support people living with #dementia.📻
While dementia is often viewed through the lens of loss, projects like this highlight the possible abundant life, joy, and connection.
A new theatre project, created with help from @SwanseaUni has been using the power of comedy, music, and movement to support people living with dementia.
The interactive show, 'Silver Screen Sisters', aimed to ignite personal memories within people at South Wales' care homes.

Proud to lead a global effort with 34 experts in the ICCARP Audiovestibular Group! 🌍📢
We recommend removing presbycusis (AB54) as a standalone dx + using AB51 for all acquired HL, with WHO severity codes.

@cardiffmet leads the International Consortium to Classify Ageing-Related Pathologies (ICCARP) to create a clear and organized system for categorizing changes related to ageing, including diseases and syndromes.

🔬 Why this matters:
Ageing is complex, and inconsistent terminology has been a barrier to understanding. These definitions provide a common framework for clearer communication between scientists, clinicians, and policymakers.
Dr Gary Christopher retweeted
These definitions unify language across disciplines and will facilitate our mission of classifying and staging ageing-related pathologies.
📢 Help us spread the word!
A pre-print of the definitions is available online: doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.…
