Episode 1: Derek & Kathryn's Story

In this episode, Derek talks about the dementia diagnosis of his wife Kathryn. This episode was recorded in the summer of 2025. At the time of recording, Derek's wife was still with us. Sadly, Kathryn died in July 2025, but Derek hopes his podcast and continued work with Age UK North Tyneside will help other people. 

Derek mentions the groups that he attends with Age UK North Tyneside in the interview. These groups still run every week. If you would like any further information about the groups or about our Admiral Nurse support, then please get in touch.
