Aisling Playford, National Influencing Officer, had an insightful meeting with Sorcha Eastwood MLA from the Alliance Party on how we can make dementia a priority in Lagan Valley and plans for the APG Skills inquiry on social care. We are grateful for the discussion.

Members of our Policy and National Influencing teams were delighted to visit the UK Dementia Research Institute Care Research & Technology centre yesterday, and hear more about the work they are doing to improve dementia care at home- including their fantastic Minder programme.
