Abstract
In July 2026, Richard (Rik) Cheston retired from his post as Professor of Dementia Research at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol. In this article we look back with appreciation on his contributions to PSIGE/FPOP and at a body of psychological research and practice that has made, and continues to make, profound differences to the lives of people with dementia. We hear from former students and colleagues and look forward to Rik’s ongoing influence through the expanding LivDem programme.Keywords
