Why dementia training for health and social care staff matters
Dara de Burca Executive director, Dementia support and partnerships, Alzheimer’s Society
Dementia is the biggest health and social care issue of our time, affecting about 1 million people in the UK today. Dementia is progressive and has no cure. It affects memory, problem-solving, language and communication, so care for people with dementia needs to be tailored. Yet not enough people living with the condition are getting the personalised care they deserve. This must change.
