Dr Jeremy Isaacs, Consultant Neurologist at St George’s and Dementia Lead for London was on @BBCRadioLondon earlier this morning along with Martin Stevens, a @TfL bus driver trained in dementia to talk about our new collaborative dementia bus stop initiative #DementiaActionWeek Image
Chris and his wife Bonnie, who has dementia, visited St George's today to see the dementia bus stop. It provides a point of familiar recognition for patients feeling lost or disorientated and helps those with dementia connect with memories, creating a calm place to take a break. Image
A pleasure to welcome @Heidi_LDN , Deputy Mayor for Transport, and @LeonieC , London Assembly Member for Meton & Wandsworth, to St George's this morning. They paid a visit to Dalby ward to learn more about the dementia bus stop initiative #DementiaActionWeek Image

This #DementiaActionWeek, we're hosting #AskUsAnything takeovers with people affected by dementia, to make sure their voices are heard.

Say hello to Emily. She lives in Belfast with husband Jim, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2014. They have 2 daughters and 3 grandsons. Emily, a carer for her husband Jim who was diagnosed with dementia in 2014.
Emily is an avid fundraiser and volunteer for Alzheimer's Society. Both her and Jim regularly attend Singing for the Brain sessions and memory cafes.

In her spare time, Emily enjoys crafting (even if she says she's not very good!) and reading. #AskUsAnything #DAW2019
Emily will be answering questions between 3-4pm today. If you've got something to ask, let us know by replying or using the hashtag #AskUsAnything.

Whether you want to find out more about her life as a carer for someone with dementia or about herself, we want to hear from you.
