3 Nations Dementia Working Group

Who are we?

We are a small group with big ambitions and we hope to do the following:

• Bring the lived experience as experts with our personal knowledge of dementia that people value whether in a professional or non-professional capacity. As such our aim is to become the ‘go to’ group within the three nations (of England, Northern Ireland and Wales) for anyone seeking input from people with dementia.
• Continue to contribute to society, to give value, advice and information where required and requested.
• Help each other through mutual support, friendship and understanding.
• Help all those affected by dementia. We understand what you are dealing with.
• Help those who are trying to help us (such as policy makers, service providers, academics, researchers, businesses).

Hear from members of 3NDWG

The 3NDWG are hosting monthly webinars, designed and delivered, by people living with dementia. 

The next webinar will be on Tuesday, 17 December, from 11am to 12pm.

Exploring Christmas for people with dementia

The holiday season, particularly Christmas, is often seen as a time of celebration and joy. However, for people living with dementia and their caregivers, it can bring unique challenges. Changes in routine, increased social interactions, unfamiliar environments, and heightened sensory stimuli can lead to confusion, distress, and disorientation. 

This webinar seeks to explore the specific difficulties faced by individuals living with dementia during Christmas and provide practical strategies for caregivers, healthcare professionals, and family members to offer support during this challenging time.

Register for the webinar.
