🧠 New in BJPsych: 1-year stroke risk with risperidone in dementia. We looked across CVD subgroups ( stroke, CVD, and risk factors) to see if any group was “safer” to prescribe to. Spoiler: there isn’t one. 📊 Infographic + link below. www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #Dementia #Stroke #Psychiatry

In Liverpool today for #BNA2025 sharing our pilot study on #psychosis mechanisms in #Alzheimer as a case study on collaboration with Medicines Discovery Catapult. Great that they're prioritising psychiatric syndromes in dementia.

Busy day this week running out SmartSocks study (testing new #healthtech for objective measurement of #agitation in #dementia). Started 3 participants in London before wrapping up for two residents in Berks after 4 weeks testing. Grateful to the care home staff for their insights!

What started with a routine Xmas (too early I know) listen to Stay Another Day has turned my train ride into a deep dive to find my other fav boy band songs (in no particular order): 1) It's Alright (E17) 2) Story of My Life (OneD) 3) Pray (TT) 4) The Right Stuff (NKOTB) 5) Larger than Life (BSB)
