Living Well with Dementia The South West Way
Living Well with Dementia The South West Way
The South West Dementia Strategy Group recently organised a conference, Living Well with Dementia “The South West Way”, to present the findings of the South West Dementia Review and to discuss the way forward.
This very successful event provided an opportunity for stakeholders from a wide range of agencies and background from the South West, to work together towards improving the experience of people with dementia and their carers, across health services, local authorities and the voluntary sector.
The conference report and all of the presentations given on the day can be accessed below.
