BBC Dementia Week – Starting the conversation

2 minute read

Archive TV

On 24th March,  the BBC are launching a new season called Dementia and Memories: Starting the Conversation. 

Three progamme ‘collections’ will be available on iPlayer, featuring programmes from the 60s, 70s and 80s, including such landmark moments as the moon landings and Abba’s Eurovision win! There is also a pop-up livestream channel, called Memories, on iPlayer. The programmes are all designed to spark conversations with anyone living with dementia, whose long term memory may be functioning better than their short term recall.

Radio Oxford

Here in Oxfordshire, the Dementia Oxfordshire team will be part of a local conversation about dementia and the support available across the county. 

Tune in to the Adam Ball show on Radio Oxford all this week (or catch up on BBC Sounds) to learn more about how to slow symptoms, what’s available for those living with Young Onset dementia and what Dementia Oxfordshire provides to make a real difference in the lives of those living with dementia and their families.
