Westminster Health Forum Keynote Seminar: Improving dementia care 2010

Following on from the launch of the National Dementia Strategy last year, the recent appointment of the first National Clinical Director for Dementia, and with the Coalition programme for government stating its intention to "prioritise dementia research within the health research and development budget", this seminar will examine the future of dementia care. This seminar will also examine how effective the strategy has been at improving the early detection of dementia, delivery of dementia services, and patient and family experience. Planned sessions also look at what more can be done to increase early diagnosis and increase the quality of dementia care on a residential, inpatient and societal level. Further sessions will examine the research and development of treatment for Alzheimer`s and what more can be done to encourage relevant research.
