Following on from my involvement in the G8 Dementia Summit, I became a member of the Department of Health’s Dementia Post-Diagnostic Support Working Group.

As a group we have today published a joint declaration across government, health, social care and the third sector to deliver better quality services to people with dementia.

You can read the declaration here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dementia-post-diagnostic-care-and-support

As a signatory to this declaration, I welcome collaboration from other organisations providing care and support to people with dementia and families and carers who may wish to be part of this declaration. Further details on how to do this are available by following the link on the bottom of the webpage detailed above.
