SUMMARY:Dementia Hub @GIAM
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to our next Dementia Hub @GIAM\, a FREE event open to everyone\, at the University of West London. \nThe Dementia Hub aims to share accessible information about dementia with local people\, organisations\, practitioners and businesses in Ealing and the surrounding areas. Held four times a year\, the Hub offers free talks\, practical information\, and opportunities to connect and network with others. \nTwo presentations\nDr Shadreck Mwale (GIAM/UWL) – Why people living with dementia from African and Caribbean communities in the UK do not always get the care they need. \nPeople living with dementia from African and Caribbean communities in the UK often face unfair problems when trying to get health and social care. Research and policy sometimes explain this by focusing too much on culture\, stigma\, or family caregiving\, rather than looking closely at racism\, unfair systems\, and wider social factors. This presentation argues that services and policies need to change so responsibility is placed on the system\, not on the communities already facing disadvantage. \nDr Laura Cole (GIAM/UWL) – Living with meaning\, purpose and influence after a dementia diagnosis. How a national network of people living with young onset dementia is shaping dementia research. \nA national network of people living with young onset dementia (diagnosed before the age of 65 years) meets monthly online to advise researchers\, academics and PhD students on the development and delivery of dementia research. This presentation will showcase the important contribution network members make to shaping dementia research and explore the positive impact that involvement in the network has had on their own lives\, providing opportunities for meaning\, purpose and influence after a dementia diagnosis. \nAttendance is free and everyone is welcome. Book your place via Eventbrite\, or contact laura.cole@uwl.ac.uk or 020 8231 2161. \n\nRegister
