Improving dementia communication

Professor Alison Wray’s work on how the social and emotional impact of dementia affects communication is helping people with dementia, their families, and professional carers to navigate the communication challenges they face.

By translating her findings into practical resources and training, Professor Wray has improved the practice of healthcare professionals, families, charities, and care homes in the UK, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand, and ultimately enhanced the lives of people with dementia through better communication.
