Boots, in conjunction with the Understand Together campaign, recently ran a Brain Health & Dementia Awareness Roadshow tour, visiting Cork, Castlebar, and Portlaoise.

This brought together local communities together to raise awareness about dementia and brain health, share lived experiences, and highlight the services and supports available to those living with dementia and their loved ones. 

Dr Emma O' Shea, a lecturer at the Centre for Gerontology and Rehabilitation, joined the Cork event on June 16th, to speak about dementia and brain health. Other speakers at the event included Amy Murphy (Dementia Adviser, Alzheimer Society of Ireland) and Dr Kevin Quaid (dementia advocate and author), who shared his lived experience of dementia.
