Dementia 2012: the state of the nation conference

Monday 26 March 2012, 10-3.30pm

Hotel Russell, London

 

The conference will launch the first report in a series that will chart UK progress towards living well with dementia and the road ahead. Findings will be based on outcomes that matter to people with dementia and carers. This is your chance to be the first to hear these findings and help debate the dementia agenda for the year ahead. Dementia is a societal challenge and the conference is for all those who would like to join the conversation about good quality of life for people with dementia in 2012 and beyond.

 

The confirmed speakers include:

  • Ian Sherriff, Researcher at the University of Plymouth and a Trustee of the Alzheimer's Society, on the work to make Plymouth a dementia friendly city
  • Sally Chandler from the Manchester age friendly city team on the approaches taken to make Manchester age friendly.
