Join us in Bournemouth for an afternoon of updates and discussion on addressing inequalities in dementia diagnosis and care, as part of EquaDem – a national network funded by the ESRC and NIHR that brings together diverse stakeholders to identify solutions to dementia inequalities.

This quarterly networking event is open to anyone with an interest in dementia, including health and social care professionals, third-sector organisations, people with lived experience, and researchers.

Speakers

Dr Gladys Yinusa will present her research on ‘Tailoring an Evidence-Based Nutritional Care Intervention – The TOMATO Study’. Gladys will discuss how a nutritional intervention was adapted for people living with dementia at home and share insights from involving carers, home care workers, and community stakeholders across diverse ethnic communities and geographical regions.

Sue Warr will share how PramaLife, a local charity supporting older adults in the community, is tackling inequalities in information and support provision through dementia awareness training, peer support groups, and the Oakley Friends information course. She will also highlight the challenges of delivering dementia support within the local area.

The full agenda of our Bournemouth-based quarterly event will be released soon.
