Dementia affects every community. It is one of the UK’s biggest health and social care challenges and it does not discriminate.
The current focus on neighbourhood health services is an opportunity to rethink how people with dementia can be supported to live healthier and more active lives for longer.
We know that a strong sense of community support and access to healthcare services can make a significant difference - both to those with a dementia diagnosis and the friends and families supporting them.
Key to this is a local community and health and care workforce that has the right knowledge about dementia to provide a safe and supportive neighbourhood for individuals to live in.
At this event, you will hear:
Powerful stories from people affected by dementia of their experience of living with a diagnosis and to understand how communities can work together to gain more understanding of the disease.
Why a fully integrated neighbourhood health and wellbeing services is so significant for people living with dementia, and what systems should consider during their development.
How innovation and service design is transforming dementia care, opening new doors for support.
Learn how-quality, evidence-informed dementia training and education delivered in communities can lead to positive impacts for people living with dementia and the neighbourhood workforce.
Join us to learn, connect, and help shape a future where no one faces dementia alone.
