What DDI Means To Me

“The Dementia Dialogue Initiative began as a spark during a university module focused on evidence-based care. What started as an assignment quickly evolved into something deeply personal, a vision to change how we discuss dementia and support those living with it.”

With eight years in domiciliary care, I’ve seen dementia through the eyes of families and patients. These moments shaped my understanding of truly compassionate, person-centred care, and inspired me to build DDI to bridge the gap between clinical practice and real-world conversation.
