The word dementia brings so much anxiety, sadness and uncertainty. My hope is that what you find in Last and Found brings a little less fear and a bit more curiosity.

It’s simply my take - as both a nurse and a daughter - shaped by experience and continual questioning and a wish to see dementia differently.

I’d love to hear from you if something doesn’t make sense, if you see things another way, or if you have any questions. I need to keep learning and it’s important I discover new ways of understanding, and, that I make sure I share with respect.

Of course I’d also love to hear from you if you fancy the idea of collaborating on a project - a podcast, a musical a touring operetta that encouraged people to see dementia in a new way? Let me know!

P.S. And meantime, I can never say it often enough for those that are in the thick of it - I wish you love and hope in the burnout.
