The books — frailty amzn.eu/d/08droStd and dementia amzn.eu/d/0gGCCIoq. I’ve decided to start a new blog on my lived experience as an unpaid carer. These resources are intended to help current geriatrics trainees to understand current English policy.
I have found many conversations on LinkedIn totally missing the mark about what neighbourhoods could do for people affected by frailty and dementia. shibley.substack.com/p/what-does-...
And so it begins. Good speech on the steps of Downing Street by the UK’s new prime minister.
I’ve already written my talk for aspiring trainees in geriatrics for Thursday. Phew.
One of the joys of not being involved in the managerial, specialist society and influencer churn of neighbourhoods is that I can have a proper deep-dive into academic issues. One of them I intend to cover in my book on neighbourhoods is epistemic injustice of digital exclusion.
The two people on the outside are my late parents. This is from my first graduation at Cambridge with a first in natural sciences in 1996. I cared for my mum with dementia at home 25 years later.
This has been a labour of love for me over the last few months. I think it's in ok shape now - as I straddle lived experience, place-based health, geriatrics medicine and sociology in one sitting.
Hugely amused that Sam Fender and Olivia Dean will fend off Drake, Michael Jackson, Chemical Brothers and many others to retain the coveted no 1 spot in the top 100 singles this Friday - smashing all records, like global warming. @emmavardy2.bsky.social
Looking under the bonnet of the national policy on neighbourhoods is much more intellectually rewarding than being a sheep. There's a history of how a #neighbourhood can be defined as an arbitrary number of 30,000 - 50,000 people. Here it is.
