Hannah Hussain - Challenges of Dementia Care for Ethnic Minorities in the UK

Hannah Hussain narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Hannah explores the unique challenges faced by minority communities in the UK regarding dementia care. It highlights the underrepresentation and barriers these communities face in accessing appropriate care, including cultural stigmas, lack of research, and the need for culturally relevant interventions. The blog underscores the importance of inclusivity, better diagnostic tools, and tailored support services to address these disparities and improve dementia care for diverse communities in the UK.

Hannah Hussain is a PhD Student in Health Economics at The University of Sheffield. As a proud third generation migrant and British-Asian, her career path has been linear and ever evolving, originally qualifying as a Pharmacist in Nottingham, then Health Economics in Birmingham. Her studies have opened a world into Psychology, Mental Health and other areas of health, and with that and personal influences she found her passion for dementia.

This podcast is brought to you in association with Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's Research UK, Alzheimer's Society and Race Against Dementia, who we thank for their ongoing support.
