Stephanie is an Occupational Therapist by background. Daley bsms. Denise Roden manages the administration for the Time for Dementia programme which gives medical students the opportunity to visit a family living with dementia over a period of two years. Denise works closely with the Evaluation Lead, Dr Stephanie Daley, to ensure the smooth running of the programme.

This includes pairing the students with the participant families, keeping track of when students are out on visits and keeping in touch with the participant families. Yvonne Feeney is the Time for Dementia Project Manager and supports the implementation and delivery of the programme in participating universities. As the restrictions gripped, people became agitated.

Dementia, after all, is a tough thing to have and the pandemic meant other treatments were not available. So GPs and other services reverted to their old ways. The ultimate result of this is yet to be fully assessed. The people most harmed were their family carers. In areas where memory clinics continued, the carers had better outcomes. But where they were closed the harm was higher.

So would the scientific approach to addressing the pandemic work for dementia? And people with dementia are one of the groups to have suffered most. Given everything known, and all that is still be known about the condition they may seem out of place. But that disregards just how far things have come. Saga, the company serving the needs of those aged 50 and over, conducts an annual poll of the health conditions people fear the most.

Infor the first time, dementia appeared above cancer. For many, that may seem a bad thing — not a cause for positivity. For Sube, it is an acknowledgement. Yes, dementia is a real problem. Yes, it is something we should be concerned about. But yes, people are less afraid to talk about it. The stigma has well and truly been broken.

The main global challenges, however, remain. Continuing to improve public attitudes and understanding. Instilling hopefulness. Improving the quality of post-diagnostic care. Where they feel supported. Where they know they can ask for help. And where they trust the professionals to find ways to prevent harm. In a significant about-turn from his own medical training, Sube also leads an initiative through which students learn about dementia.

He generated and evaluated novel models of service delivery including memory assessment services. This work has stood the test of time and has been internationally influential, with Sube working with the World Health Organisation on international dementia policy. He led the UK ministerial enquiry into the use of antipsychotic medication in dementia which resulted in the use of these medications being more than halved, saving the lives of an estimated 1, people with dementia.

In the last decade his work has come to include the role of education in preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals for the challenges of an ageing population. This sees nursing, health professional, and medical students paired with a family affected by dementia, visiting that family every three months for two years, and enables them to see the world of health care from the viewpoint of the families.

To date over 5, students and 1, families have taken part. After 20 years at KCL, I knew very little about education in universities, but from my policy work I knew we needed to create a better workforce for the future. So in I moved to BSMS to lead its strategy, and to understand and innovate in healthcare education. I learned an immense amount at BSMS, including that education, like research, is about innovation and evaluation to enable translation of novel and best practice.

Unlike research, it is the reason why most students come to us so there is an absolute necessity to do it brilliantly and generate positive student experience. BSMS does just that.
