Dr Clarissa Giebel - Raising awareness of dementia with cartoons

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog Clarissa remembers Tony Husband, Private Eye cartoonist and dementia awareness advocate. Tony used his personal experience and artistic prowess to create touching cartoons about his father's dementia, educating and resonating with many. His work lives on in his books and the hearts of the dementia community. Clarissa reflects on Tony's impact and his creative approach to raising awareness. Join us in honouring his contribution to dementia care and understanding.
