Show Notes

John Ramsay is the Managing Director of Social Ability, a company focused on enhancing the quality of life for individuals with cognitive challenges, particularly those affected by dementia. His personal experience caring for his father with dementia inspired him to transition from a corporate law career to the care industry, where he developed interactive light technology to promote engagement. Under his leadership, Social Ability has launched initiatives like the Happiness Programme, aiming to create meaningful activities for residents in care homes and improve their overall well-being.
