Dementia UK release ‘A pub conversation’ with Tommy and Andrew 

Dementia UK has released a new film entitled: ‘A pub conversation about dementia with Tommy and Andrew’. 

Tommy lives with Alzheimer’s disease and Andrew is the primary carer for his mother who lives with vascular dementia. Together they talk about how, as men, they’ve approached their experiences of dementia and address why men can struggle to talk about dementia.
