b"This is a radio documentary that I produced for dementia awareness week in May 2014. It was the final assignment for a Diploma in Radio Journalism.\\n\\nMy Mother Audrey (shown in a 2009 photo in Malta) had Alzheimer's disease, a form of dementia, so I took a personal journey to look at some of the innovations in dementia care taking place in the Liverpool City Region. \\n\\nI am grateful to all the organizations and people who gave generously of their time for a student project. Thank you!\\n\\nThe documentary includes excerpts of interviews with Grahame Smith (Liverpool John Moores University), Tommy Dunne (http://Twitter.com/TommyTommytee18), Henry Mooney (Everton FC), Joy MacDonnell (Liverpool City Council) and Dave Burrows (Damibu).\\n\\nFor further information I have written blog posts about two of the initiatives mentioned in the documentary:\\n\\n* Everton FC Pass on the Memories: http://3nt.co/EvertonPOTM.
