This week is Dementia Action Week - 17th May to 23rd May. What can we all do to help?


Dementia refers to a group of symptoms which affect memory and cognitive skills thereby affecting daily activities. One in three of us born in UK will develop dementia in our life time and by 2025 there will be a million people living with dementia.

Dementia is an umbrella term for loss of memory and other thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life.

Dementia Action week is a national event to ensure action is taken to improve the lives of people affected by dementia.

We all have a role to play in making UK a dementia friendly place to live.

Did you know that most of the staff at St Wulfstan surgery are dementia friends?

Please have a look at the resources for ideas and links to see how you can help.
