Join Us to Make Dementia a Priority

Dementia must be a Government priority

Around 1 million people in the UK are living with dementia, and 1 in 3 people born today will develop it in their lifetime. Dementia is the greatest health and social care challenge of our time, but it’s still not being treated as a top priority by those in power.

We’ve shared this message countless times: dementia must be a government priority. Now, we need to see real commitment and action from those who have the power to drive change.

The need has never been greater, but neither has the opportunity if decision-makers choose to act.

Join us in calling on the UK Government to make dementia a priority by:

1. Increasing dementia diagnosis rates and accelerating system readiness for disease modifying treatments.

The potential of these new disease-modifying treatments represents a defining moment for Alzheimer’s disease. However, currently, health care systems across the UK are not ready to deliver breakthrough treatments if they become available. Over a third of people living with dementia in the UK don't have a diagnosis. This means they can’t access the vital care, support and treatment a diagnosis can bring, including both existing symptomactic treatments and the disease-modifying treatments of the future, if approved.

2. Delivering a social care workforce strategy.

Find out more

While scientific breakthroughs may change the way care is delivered in the future, hundreds of thousands of people living with dementia today may never become eligible for new treatments. It is vital we have a social care system set up to provide high-quality, personalised care, delivered by a well-trained and supported workforce.  We need care that provides choice and control for everyone living with dementia.

This is our chance to be heard. Let’s not waste this chance.

Join us today to ensure that the UK Government commits to making dementia a priority.
