Emily A Largent

So the issue you raise is the practice of dementia historically up and now has been the need for someone else to be there.

And actually, uh, my colleague Emily Largent and I are, are writing on this.

Um, hope to have a piece out soon in a prominent journal.

Listeners, uh, will be informed, uh, where we make the case for the need for someone to take part in your care.

Uh, ask, uh, go to a bar where you get a haircut, ask an academic, you get a study.

Mm.

So we studied this, Emily Largent and, uh, myself and colleagues.

We interviewed caregivers, uh, during the pandemic, during the time of isolation about, uh, what was happening to their relative as a result of the social isolation, and it's a great paper.
