What is Dementia Action week?
Dementia Action Week is an awareness raising campaign, this years campaign is all about increasing diagnosis rates as this is such an important issue.
As well as the misconception around memory loss just being part of getting old, our research found being in denial, and referral times to specialists, are big barriers for those experiencing symptoms to seek a diagnosis.
Getting a diagnosis can be daunting, but it is believed that sometimes it’s better to know. And so do 91% of people affected by Dementia.
Please take a look at this symptoms checklist. By working together, it is important to improve people’s diagnosis experience and ensure they get a timely diagnosis.
