Pioneer of sensory awareness in dementia care, vision and hearing, Dr Julie Christie, died suddenly on 15 January 2024.
Journal of Dementia Care editor Sue Benson said: “Julie was an inspiring keynote speaker at our JDC conferences in Scotland. She positively influenced many over her career, and was well-known for her unstinting passion and work with and for people with dementia. All at Dementia Community send condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.”
Julie’s legacy includes ‘Talking Sense’, a book she co-authored with Agnes Houston. You can read ‘Talking Sense’ here: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/d4716cd3-2ba7-4f17-9d64-e3577c45cd81/downloads/Talking-sense.pdf?ver=1595543200019
