AHP Dementia Webinar Series

April 2 marks International Children's Book day. We are sharing a range of books for children that aim to increase overall understanding of dementia and how they can help support people living with condition. 

Scotland’s second dedicated Outdoor Brain Health and Dementia Resource Centre is getting ready to open its doors, a special space within Lauriston Castle Gardens that will make the site even more meaningful and accessible for all.  

Today, the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), approved a second Alzheimer’s drug, donanemab, for use in the UK. However, an interim provisional decision by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has deemed donanemab not cost-effective for the NHS. As a result, for now at least, the drug will only be available privately.

A solo art exhibition “Jist John” by new artist John Sangster will be on show at The Studio, Monymusk this weekend. John was inspired to start painting after being diagnosed with Lewy body dementia and strives to live well with dementia.
