💙 Share this post and help end the wait for dementia.

It’s . Today, the global dementia community is united in sharing one message – people living with dementia have waited too long for answers.

We’re shining a spotlight on the timely and important issue of early diagnosis under the theme:

The earlier you know, the more you can do: A dementia diagnosis matters.

That’s why we’re calling for a new ‘national standard’ for dementia diagnosis. Meaning that after being referred by their GP, everyone with dementia receives a diagnosis, a care plan, and, where appropriate, begins treatment - all within 18 weeks.
