About me

I'm an award-winning content creator, consultant, campaigner and speaker, trainer and mentor, specialising in ageing, health & social care. Until 2012 I was a carer to my dad who had vascular dementia for approximately the last 19 years of his life. I aim to provide support and advice to those faced with similar situations, inform and educate care professionals and the wider population, promote debate and create improvements in dementia care.
