The Emergency Services play a vital role in the safety and wellbeing of people living with dementia and those caring for people with dementia.
By signing our Emergency services strategic commitment on dementia, your organisation can help tackle the social and economic impact of dementia.
What is the Emergency services strategic commitment on dementia?
Our Emergency services strategic commitment on dementia sets our three areas where organisations can collaboratively develop their people, places and policies to support people affected by dementia.
Once a service signs up, we’ll provide information and guidance, including some basic actions you can take to work towards becoming more dementia-friendly.
The commitment builds on existing dementia friendly policies and procedures and compliments the dementia-friendly business guide.
Who is it for?
All emergency service providers, whether police, fire and rescue or ambulance services.
This commitment has been signed by:
- The National Police Chiefs’ Council
- The National Fire Chief’s Council
- The Association of Ambulance Chief Executives
