For the last two months I’ve written about the coronavirus pandemic. I want to continue with this theme since it is at the forefront of all of our minds, but also with a little nod to the significance of this month…
D4Dementia 7th Birthday
On 20 May 2012, I began D4Dementia with this simple introductory post: Welcome to D for Dementia. Since then the blog has been read by thousands of people around the world, and I’ve had countless comments, requests for help and stories…

Welcome to D for Dementia
Ever wanted to know what it is like to be directly affected by dementia? Or maybe you are already, or have been in the past? My father had vascular dementia for approximately the last 19 years of his life, which…
