There's been a lot of research around communication and dementia. Research suggests very strongly that many people in dementia care settings do not modify their communication strategies to suit the changing stages of dementia. This can result in sub-optimal outcomes for people with dementia and their families.

It’s also been mentioned that communication is a very important subject that we need to address and discuss when we are dealing with dementia.

This is a small introduction into dementia communication strategies and some communication do's and don'ts linked to dementia

 About me

 My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified. I’m also a Dementia Champion and a leading voice on dementia in Australia and I have been active in this area for over 14 years. 

 As a freelance dementia consultant and educator who De-mystifies and De-stigmatises dementia I advocate for people living with dementia and their families to live well. With a Masters of Dementia, I’m a Dementia Specialist, Family Advocate, Educator, Columnist, Public Speaker, and an Advanced Care Planner. My family has also been touched by dementia.

 I hosted hundreds of free public dementia education events to raise the awareness of dementia. I’ve been featured in the Australian Journal of Dementia Care and was awarded the ‘Paul Harris Medal’ from Rotary International for Community Service.

 My new YouTube channel called Ask a Dementia Champion has the goal of raising the level of dementia awareness and knowledge in the community and to de-stigmatise dementia more broadly. 

 My style is relaxed and use simple non-complicated terms and language to effectively inform and advise so that correct choices are made, and I’m committed to finding, and sharing, bold and innovative new ideas in dementia care.

 Finally, I’m featured in the international award-winning dementia documentary Ticktyboo – a Secret in Plain Sight, been interviewed numerous times by community and commercial radio and international Youtubers such as the award winning All Home Care Matters, and I’ve spoken at National Dementia Conferences.

 So, if you a looking for someone who can share information about dementias pathology, the impact of dementia on society, and what can be done to help, then you’ve come to the right place.
