We are doing a survey to understand why other professionals do/don't refer people with Primary Progressive Aphasia for speech-language support
We want Drs, nurses, psychologists, social workers, OTs, PTs & any other profession.

A great morning with the Bristol Dementia Voice group who helped test workshop materials for my PhD co-design workshops, using personas and live illustration. Feedback: discussion 'much better' with live illustration & it's hard to identify needs of ppl living alone w dementia

@laurabraithslt has been a key AHP in developing services for people living with Dementia and their families in Wales. Communication is such a vital area that can improve living with Dementia. This will be fantastic. Get involved 🙌
We all communicate in unique ways when it comes to family and @laurabraithslt is hoping to understand how to help of families living with dementia. Can you help? The research can be completed from your home, no need to travel. Get in touch/ & share please.
Are you an adult community #SLT in the UK? Want to give your views on the SLT role in #communication in #dementia? We're looking for a couple more participants to join a final online focus group on Monday 2nd Dec at 11am. Email me: [email protected] for more info.
Thought-provoking day at #UKDC2024 - the importance of active listening, therapeutic value of play, and debate around 'lie telling' and redirection in dementia are take home messages for me.
