Regional interest groups for younger people with dementia

There are a number of regional interest groups/forums for younger people with dementia. The groups provide an opportunity mainly for professionals and carers to meet and share ideas and discuss issues relating to services for younger people within their region and nationally.

Most of the groups meet on a regular basis to share information and good practice and to provide a focus for joint working on issues relevant for younger people with dementia.
