Assoc Prof Dr Michele Board and Rebecca Dew were delighted to attend the “On Track” event at the Bovington Tank Museum at the start of October to present their team’s latest work with veterans living with dementia which was funded by Dementia Research UK.
Following three inspiring talks during the morning session given by ex-military personnel around resilience and mental health, Assoc Prof Michele Board was pleased to introduce and share the documentary film Veterans Living with Dementia, which demonstrates their team’s latest work with veterans living with dementia and exploring their experiences. More information on the project, as well as the film link, can be accessed via the project page on following link: https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/research/projects/creative-workshops-veterans-dementia Please note the documentary film is approximately 10mins long.
Following the presentation, both Michele and Becky represented the ADRC during the lunchtime stalls and had many interesting conversations about the project and people’s experiences of being in the military, living with dementia or knowing someone with dementia, as well as raising awareness for this important subject and work amongst other participating organisations and charities.
Working with Dementia Research UK, the team hopes to continue disseminating the film and building on this initial work and to raise awareness for this subject.
