In this episode of The Dementia Download, we're focussing on dementia and mindfulness. We’ll be exploring what mindfulness is, from its ancient roots to modern uses, and how it benefits people whose lives are affected by dementia. We’ll also be sharing some simple exercises that you can try out for yourself.

This month’s guests are Gemima Fitzgerald: a clinical psychologist, Roy Foden: a former Auxiliary Nurse who was diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia 14 years ago, and Nick Stolerman, who has practiced mindful meditation personally, and professionally, for many years.
