The inaugural LondonADASS Dementia Awareness Event set out to tackle:

• Increasing awareness of dementia across generations
• Increasing awareness of dementia within care homes
• Issues stemming from Delayed Transfers of Care (DToC)
• How to meet the training needs of the social care workforce; and
• Increasing awareness amongst the general population

Dementia Awareness Week is supported by the Alzheimer’s Society. The Alzheimer’s Society is a UK charity which provides support and research for those affected by dementia.

In the UK, there are about 800,000 people with dementia; it is estimated that around 400,000 people have dementia but do not know it. By raising awareness about this condition, it is hoped that more people will be diagnosed earlier, giving more time for them to come to terms with future symptoms.

Focused on:

• Dementia Metrics project
• Setting the scene including Dementia Friendly Technology Charter
• Connected Care and Connected Health
• Alcove Approach – selected case studies
• App supporting Care Staff dealing with Challenging Behaviours
