A dementia diagnosis is vital
This year our Dementia Action Week campaign (13 – 19 May 2024) brings the UK together to take action on improving dementia diagnosis rates.
Diagnosis is vital to give people access to the care, treatment and support they desperately need. Yet, incredibly, 1 in 3 people with dementia do not have a diagnosis.
