Listening to Christine Bigby talking about the long and deep thinking in supported decision making for people with intellectual disability @ASID2023 makes me think how useful this would be in #dementia

Was so wonderful to share some of our work on socially isolated LGBT+ people living with dementia and their supporters #AAGConf_2023

Powerful and rich workshop yesterday on models of care for LGBT+ people living with dementia at #AAG_2023 . It was so important to first establish safety amongst participants to talk through some hard stuff - how can we make and talk about useful mistakes. Supported by Institute for Health Transformation

I'm really looking forward to presenting this Pre-Conference workshop tomorrow and getting everyone thinking about models of care for LGBT+ people living with dementia.

I am speaking at AusPATH and PATHA Conference 2023. Please checkout the details of my talk at: whova.com/xems/apis/open…

A research project led by IHT’s Prof. Angela Dew has seen a team of Deakin University & UNSW researchers co-design NDIS and oral healthcare resources with people with disability from Syrian & Iraqi refugee backgrounds. Access the resources via the IHT website 🔽 iht.deakin.edu.au/2023/06/co-des…

I am so excited to be working on this fabulous project on care transitions with such excellent colleagues.

I was very inspired and grateful to be in this conversation with researchers from around the world doing research work with LGBT+ people with dementia. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and collaboration. Liadh Timmins Jason Schaub Linn J Sandberg Phil Harper (Philli Mi Up) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ They/Them

Wonderful to see this discussion paper on gender and sexuality diversity in the context of dementia

Excellent to see this resource for aged care staff in print. It includes powerful case studies around how dementia support needs to be informed by personal connection and knowledge about LGBTI histories.

Thanks for profiling my new Dementia Australia research foundation grant, Institute for Health Transformation. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to continue working with excellent collaborators and volunteers to co-design resources that help affirm connections with LGBT+ people with dementia.

Big congratulations to the fabulous A/Prof Lyn Phillipson for being awarded her fellowship to continue work on Dementia Friendly Communities
