Description from BAMS Student Medal Project XXXI 2024:
'My idea originated from a recent personal experience: how my grandad has been losing his memory. This has had a huge impact on me and my family. The medal is to symbolise the sadness and effects of those suffering from dementia. It takes the shape of an armchair, representing the safe space for the sufferer, and the desire to return to somewhere familiar. It is a topic not talked about enough.'
