Many of us will have experience of dementia, close to home or in our community. It is a complicated condition that is on the rise.

Hazel McHaffie, author of Remember Remember, John Killick, poet and author of Dementia Positive, and campaigner Tommy Whitelaw, who ran a global merchandising operation for the Spice Girls, Kylie and U2 until his mum Joan needed his care, discuss dementia in a panel event followed by an informal discussion.
