Following on from Dementia Action Week this year, in this episode of Keeping Up with the PaSCE, Tim, the new host and Manager for Palliative and Supportive Care at Cancer Council WA, speaks with Dr. David Sykes, Director of the Centre of Dementia Learning at Dementia Australia.
They discuss the stigma and discrimination faced by people living with dementia, as highlighted in recent reports. Dr. Sykes emphasises the importance of reducing this stigma, staying socially active to slow the progression of the disease, and increasing community support for those affected. They also explore the rising prevalence of early-onset dementia and the need for better awareness, early diagnosis, and risk reduction strategies, such as physical activity and healthy living. Dr. Sykes introduces the BrainTrack app, which helps individuals monitor cognitive health and prompts discussions with GPs.
The episode concludes with a call to utilise resources like Dementia Australia’s helpline and e-learning programs to support those affected by dementia.
