Ep9 - The need for a Compassionate Society whilst Caring for my Wife

Meet James Price whose wife has young onset Alzheimer's disease. James reflects on the complexities of caring for your lover and advocates making the most of your time together during the early parts of the disease. He explains why Admiral Nurses are vital, but that it's a postcode lottery. We explore what a truly compassionate society would look like, be it sympathetic restaurant staff, friends surprising you with their help, care-workers being paid a salary befitting their pivotal role, or having compassion for yourself when necessity dictates that your loved one move into residential care. Presented by Rosanna Miles and Alzheimer's Research UK: @rosannamiles @AlzResearchUK #InspireFund
