9. "Who's looking after you?"
Does your cultural background affect your understanding of dementia?
In this episode Grace and Peggy pop round to see Surryia Chauhdry and her husband Khurshid, who has dementia. They met in Pakistan, and now live in Sheffield. They also chat to health worker Nur Ali from @shipshapewell. She talks about the challenges of getting dementia information out to different communities.
Research focusing on black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities is 'essential and challenging,' according to Alzheimer's Society.
