Hilary Doxford, living with young onset dementiaIn October 2022, we started a series of webinars focusing on improving the experience of diagnosis for younger people with dementia and their families.
Our aim is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience amongst professionals to improve understanding of issues relating to the experience of young onset diagnosis, how those issues might be resolved and the resultant benefits.
A good relationship with a GP and GP practice is key to helping a person with young onset dementia and their family navigate the complex systems and pathways for young onset dementia care.
In our webinar on Wednesday 16th October 2024, Dr Nerida Burnie will discuss how GPs can help people with the challenge of getting a diagnosis, support people and families post-diagnosis and advocate for change and identify gaps in services.
During our webinar on Tuesday 19th November 2024, Hannah Gardner, Dementia UK’s Consultant Admiral Nurse for Children and Young People and Dr Patricia Masterson-Algar, a research fellow and lecturer at Bangor University, will talk about how progress is being made to improve the support that young people affected by parental young onset dementia receive.
