NHS Pennine Care - Help for carers: Frontotemporal Dementia

  • Jack Noon

Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, in Stockport, tasked Popsicle Productions to create a 3-part series of short 'documentary-style' videos around the topic of Frontotemporal Dementia, otherwise known as FTD. The aim of these videos was to go in-depth about what the disease is, as well as challenges it may bring and how to face them. The videos will be used as helpful guides for carers of people with FTD.

This three-part series feature stories from carers of people with FTD, as well as advice from NHS experts. Working with the mental health team we created these videos to bring greater clarity, help and comfort to those with FTD, and their carers.
