What to expect from health and care services after a diagnosis of dementia
The Department for Health and Social Care has recently published guidance for individuals and families about what to expect after a diagnosis of dementia. The guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/after-a-diagnosis-of-dementia-what-to-expect-from-health-and-care-services/after-diagnosis-of-dementia-what-to-expect-from-health-and-care-services
A selection of videos on dementia for patients, relatives and carers, have further been created by Newcastle University’s Institute for Ageing and Health and The Sound Doctor, which are exceptionally useful.
