Dementia

Effective communication, co-operation and co-ordination between all those involved in caring for a person with dementia are essential for providing a level of care that assures dignity and quality of life for the person with dementia and their carers. 

Alzheimer's Society is rolling out an evidence based training programme for care home staff to reduce the use of antipsychotic drugs in people with dementia.
The programme aims to train staff to manage behavioural and psychological symptoms safely, without the need for medication.

There are many ways you can get involved in dementia research whether you are a carer, a person living with dementia, or just interested in dementia research.
