For #DementiaActionWeek we're joining @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social to highlight the importance of early dementia diagnoses ~50% of people with #MND experience cognitive changes- it rises to 80% as the condition advances However, these symptoms are often unexpected and overlooked

#DPUK research shows recognising early symptoms is vital. Beyond memory loss, changes in behaviour, language and spatial awareness can signal dementia. Understanding these diverse signs supports both research and care. #DementiaActionWeek #KnowTheSigns
