The gay man with early onset dementia who's improving the care system for LGBTQ people

Currently the youngest person in the UK living with early onset dementia, Patrick Ettenes received his diagnosis at 31 and found that there was little support for him as a young gay single man. Patrick, now 38, co-founded Bring Dementia Out – alongside the Alzheimer’s Society – to improve services to LGBTQ+ people in the care system and housing associations. Patrick also guest lectures about living with HIV and substance abuse. Patrick Ettenes is one of the 10 everyday LGBTQ heroes being honoured at the Attitude Pride Awards 2021, supported by Clifford Chance. The Attitude Pride Awards are part of Attitude Pride at Home, in association with Klarna. https://www.klarna.com/uk/ #Klarna Read more about the Attitude Pride Award winners 2021 in the Attitude Summer issue, out now.
