💬 'There is no doubt that early diagnosis is absolutely crucial in the fight against dementia, and campaigning is key to increasing awareness of what is the number one cause of death in the UK.' Ahead of the general election, our friend Christine highlights why an ambitious increase in early and accurate diagnosis rates is top of our agenda for the next government. Chris' husband, Bob, struggled to get a diagnosis. Chris hopes that decision-makers can learn from experiences like her and Bob's to help more people in the future. 'My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and mixed dementia with behavioural issues in 2022. He is now living in a nursing home that takes very good care of him following two failed placements elsewhere, resulting in readmissions to hospital. 'The dementia has resulted in him changing from a very fit and active man to him losing most of his mobility and having to rely on others for the vast majority of his care needs. Dementia is, of course, progressive, and unfortunately, he was unable to have any early diagnosis or treatment to slow down this progression. 'The reality is that dementia is a life-changing and life-limiting, devastating disease that most people know very little about.' 'I am passionate about doing all I can to help those with dementia. I've attended parliamentary sessions to speak to MPs directly, tell them my story, and ask them to use their influence and powers to raise awareness and support early diagnosis and new treatments. 'I also drew their attention to the economic argument that the cost of these will be offset by the savings made in the funding of care for dementia sufferers. 'It is vital that dementia is brought to the attention of the government and the public at large to enable changes to be made to both the diagnosis and treatments and bring hope for the future.' A huge thank you to Chris for sharing her and Bob's story to make a difference. The more we talk, the more people in power have to listen 👂 #GeneralElection #Dementia #Campaign
